TLA Comparison

TLA outperforms the competitors

The table below compares the TLA technology with conventional approaches. Comparison tables have been created for 3 applications: oncology, genetic engineering and clinical genetics. You can compare our TLA technology with any of the suggested alternatives by (de)selecting the method(s) of interest. More in-depth explanations can be found by hovering on top of cells that contain an "i” icon.

  • Copy number
  • TLA combined with NGS
  • ~i
    TLA can provide a copy number estimation based on 3 variables:
    - the number of integration sites
    - the number of transgene-transgene fusions
    - the ratio of the sequencing coverage on the transgene-side and genome-side of the integration site

    TLA only provides information on cells with integrated TG
  • WGS
  • ~i
    Only based on the identification of breakpoint fusion reads
  • X

  • ~i
    Only at high coverage

    Only at high coverage
  • Xi
    Cannot reliably detect structural variations in and around (trans)gene of interest
  • i
    Only at high coverage
  • i
    Assesses copy numbers in population of cells. It enables the assessment of TG sequencing coverage vs. the coverage across the host genome
