Proteomics in Transition: From Discovery to Diagnostic Relevance Whitepaper

Proteomics in Transition: From Discovery to Diagnostic Relevance Whitepaper

For years, discovery proteomics uncovered hundreds of candidate biomarkers — but most stalled before reaching the clinic. New digital platforms change that: they deliver femtogram-level sensitivity, reproducible quantification across sites, and the analytical rigor required for regulatory and clinical use.

Why this matters
Proteins reflect real-time biology. That means faster detection, better trial enrollment, and clearer measures of therapeutic effect. Whether you’re developing a diagnostic, designing an adaptive trial, or building a multi-omics model, the right proteomic data reduces guesswork and accelerates decisions.

      Key Takeaways

      1. Profiled 1 million human B cells in a single experiment

      2. Detected 900,000+ unique paired clonotypes across Type 1 Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn’s, Celiac, and healthy donors

      3. Achieved sensitive detection of CDR3 regions, clonotypes, and full-length sequences at scale

      Evercode BCR uncovered over 900,000 unique paired clonotypes across 24 samples in a single experiment. Negatively selected B cells from 12 healthy donors were purchased, while pan B cells were isolated from 12 autoimmune-diseased human PBMCs and fixed using the Evercode Cell Fixation Kit v3 to preserve cell structure and protect RNA integrity. Fixed samples were stored at -80°C until all were ready for combined processing with the Evercode BCR Mega Kit. Whole transcriptome and BCR-specific libraries were sequenced on the Illumina Novaseq X, and data were analyzed using Parse Biosciences’ Analysis Pipeline v1.3.0. Clustering with Seurat 5.0 showed that the majority of cells corresponded to major B cell subtypes, as illustrated in the UMAP below (Figure 1).

      The assay demonstrated high sensitivity, detecting paired heavy and light chains in up to 89% of cells (Figure 2).

      CNV Backbone Spike-in Panels

      Twist CNV Backbone Spike-in Panel with exome for cytogenetic research

      Stronger CNV Detection — Without Changing Your Exome Workflow.

      Large copy number variations can be easy to miss when exome sequencing focuses on exonic regions – leading to blind spots, repeat testing, and extra time interpreting unclear data. By spiking in Twist’s CNV Backbone Panels, you give your exome run the evenly spaced genomic coverage it needs to reliably surface clinically relevant CNVs — especially the ones standard exomes struggle with.

      Available in 100 kb, 50 kb, and 25 kb resolutions, the CNV Backbone Panels strengthen your detection sensitivity while keeping your workflow identical. Blend it into your existing exome panel, follow your standard Twist enrichment protocol, and immediately get more confident CNV calls backed by consistent probe tiling across intergenic regions.

      But... Why These Panels?

      1. Fine-Tune CNV Resolution

      Choose from 100 kb, 50 kb, or 25 kb probe spacing to match your CNV detection needs. Strategically tiled probes in intergenic regions enhance sensitivity for even small CNVs.

      2. Seamless Workflow Integration

      Easily spike into your Twist Exome 2.0 panel and follow standard enrichment protocols—no workflow disruption, no extra training required.

      3. Evidence-Based Performance

      Validated with highly characterized samples, the panels consistently improve CNV calls, including those smaller than 50 kb, boosting confidence in your results.

      4. Flexible Panel Sizes

      Available in 2-reaction (16 samples) and 12-reaction (96 samples) formats to fit both small-scale research and high-throughput lab workflows.

        Why It Matters to You

        Reliable CNV detection isn’t just a technical metric—it directly impacts research outcomes, diagnostic accuracy, and patient care. Standard exome sequencing often misses CNVs due to uneven probe coverage, creating blind spots in your analysis. Twist CNV Backbone Spike-in Panels bridge those gaps, ensuring that even subtle copy number changes are identified, so you can make confident, data-driven decisions.

        For labs and clinicians, this means fewer follow-up tests, reduced time spent troubleshooting ambiguous results, and a smoother workflow. You can trust that your exome sequencing captures the variations that truly matter, whether for rare disease research, clinical diagnostics, or high-throughput screening.

        Moreover, the ability to choose between 25 kb, 50 kb, or 100 kb resolution gives you control over sensitivity and throughput, aligning with your project goals and patient population needs. Evidence-based validation demonstrates improved detection of CNVs—including those smaller than 50 kb—so your results aren’t just comprehensive, they’re actionable.

        By integrating these panels into your existing workflow, you enhance not only the quality of your data but also the efficiency of your lab operations, freeing time and resources for deeper analysis and patient-focused outcomes.

Example data of Twist CNV Backbone Spike-in Panels. A highly characterized sample set known to contain CNVs (1) and a baseline set of 12 healthy individuals were sequenced with 2×150 reads on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000. The average number of SNVs, INDELs, and CNVs called and sequencing depth at each probe density was determined for each panel when spiked into Twist Exome 2.0 plus Comprehensive Spike-in. CNV calling was performed with a commercially available software solution (2)

          Modified LongPlex™ Protocol (LongPlex XL)

            Modified LongPlex™ Protocol (LongPlex XL)

            This technical note outlines an alternative workflow for generating 10–15 kb HiFi reads from high-quality genomic DNA using the LongPlex Long Fragment Multiplexing Kit. In this approach, LongPlex is used to fragment and barcode samples, and PacBio’s Short Read Eliminator (SRE) is applied to size-select fragments >10 kb before SMRTbell® library preparation.

            LongPlex uses plate-based transposase tagmentation for multiplexed fragmentation and barcoding, removing the need for mechanical shearing and allowing barcoded samples to be pooled before SMRTbell prep. This simplifies the workflow, increases throughput, and lowers library prep costs.

            The standard LongPlex protocol generates 6–9 kb HiFi reads from high- to medium-quality DNA—ideal for microbial and other small-genome projects. However, users working with higher-quality DNA may want longer HiFi reads to maximize gigabase yield on PacBio systems.

            This modified workflow is only suitable for high-quality DNA (Femto Pulse GQN30kb ≥7). Using degraded DNA will result in substantial sample loss during SRE size selection.
