FAQ

I have already performed KASP on my samples. Can I use my KASP assays directly for a Flex-Seq project?

No, this is not possible as they are different technologies. KASP works by directly targeting the SNP, whereas Flex-Seq probes are designed to the surrounding sequence to the SNP of interest. Using Flex-Seq may only be possible if the locations of the SNPs in the KASP assay can be mapped back to a specific location in a reference sequence.
