On September 5, 2024 Integrated DNA Technologies reported that it is expanding its Archer portfolio of comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) solutions to include homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) assessment (Press release, INTEGRATED DNA TECHNOLOGIES, SEP 5, 2024, View Source [SID1234646387]). Available as a standalone assay, spiked-in as a supplementary module or integrated in an Archer NGS panel, the new HRD module complements existing Archer microsatellite (MSI) and tumor mutational burden (TMB) assessment capabilities to create a flexible, customizable CGP solution for labs looking to optimize sequencing resources. The HRD assessment is available via the:

VARIANTPlex HRD Module—available as a spike-in to other Archer panels or ran alone.
VARIANTPlex Complete Solid Tumor v2 panel—expands Archer’s existing Complete Solid Tumor panel, now capable of assessing HRD.
VARIANTPlex Pan Solid Tumor v2 panel—expands Archer’s existing Pan Solid Tumor panel, now capable of assessing HRD.
Powered by Archer’s Anchored Multiplex PCR (AMP) chemistry and Archer Analysis, the new HRD module and updated Archer NGS panels enable downstream applications of precision medicine, provides a differentiated solution that can be customized to fit a lab’s solid tumor research needs, and expands Archer’s existing CGP portfolio.
"With our new HRD module, IDT is enabling labs to unlock the most comprehensive biomarker content from a single, low-input sample," said Steve Wowk, Vice President/General Manager, Gene Reading Business Unit at IDT. "As a trusted cancer research partner, IDT is continuously innovating on its cancer research solutions to equip labs with the timely, accurate and relevant answers they need about cancer, while helping them overcome the challenges they face with technical and resource constraints. With CGP on-market solutions currently a one-size-fits-all, we’re excited to make our HRD module available as a custom CGP solution, building on our commitment to accelerate the pace of genomics by broadly enabling CGP to advance cancer research."
As comprehensive genomic profiling for solid tumors grows in popularity to rapidly identify cancer biomarkers, IDT’s suite of CGP solutions is designed to fit labs unique needs with pre-designed RNA- and DNA-based panels, customizable panels, and supplementary modules to easily target key genomic signatures like MSI, TMB, and HRD. IDT’s CGP solution allows labs to adjust targets quickly without significant changes to established protocols.
