18 Transgenomic DNA Tools

 
 

» WAVE ® , SURVEYOR ® Scan, BLOCker™ - Sequencing and ICE COLD - PCR are breakthrough methodologies that enhance the ability of Sanger sequencing to detect and identify mutations at or significantly beyond the levels achieved with allele - specific probes or next generation sequencing » SURVEYOR Scan kits can be run on multiple platforms → Ability to meet any research or testing need » BLOCker - Sequencing and ICE COLD - PCR are run on standard Sanger sequencing equipment found in most molecular labs Technologies with Broad Appeal 19

 
 

0 5 10 15 20 Percent of WAVE Customer Publications Oncology Inherited Disease Neuroscience Cardiovascular Infectious Disease Immunology WAVE ® System The world’s #1 system for mutation detection • More than 1600 instruments sold to over 900 customers • Leading system for BRCA analysis in Europe and Asia • Over 1700 publications • More than 500 genes analyzed by WAVE ® systems to date

 
 

21 WAVE ® MCE and SURVEYOR ® Scan Transgenomic’s new platform offers cutting - edge technology defined by their best in class sensitivity and comprehensive scanning ability for detecting mutations

 
 

22 SURVEYOR ® Mutation Detection Mismatch endonuclease that identifies both presence and location of a mutation Long fragments Short fragments Uncut strand

 
 

BLOCker™ - Sequencing BL ocking O ligonucleotide C ycle Sequencing • BLOCker - Sequencing is Transgenomic’s patented approach which selectively blocks the sequencing of wild - type DNA by incorporating a wild type BLOCing Nucleic Acid • The BLOCker Oligo is complimentary to one strand of the wild type but not the mutant • During denaturization, the mutant strand ‘unwinds’ while the wild type remains annealed blocking it from being sequenced • Enhances the limit of detection of standard Sanger sequencing to ~1% in tissue samples 23

 
 

Conventional versus COLD - PCR 24

 
 

ICE COLD - PCR I mproved and C omplete E nrichment CO amplification at L ower D enaturation temperatures – PCR • Patented enhancement to COLD - PCR demonstrating reproducible detection at very high analytic sensitivity (100 to 1000 fold over “normal” Sanger sequencing) for detection of DNA in blood and body fluids • Specifically enhances amplification of mutated DNA • Enable detection of cancer gene mutations for early diagnosis of disease, monitoring of disease, recurrence and therapeutic response • Exclusively licensed from Dana Farber for Sanger sequencing and pyrosequencing, non - exclusive for RT - PCR, next gen sequencing Several collaborations beginning to further validate ICE COLD - PCR 25

 
 

26 Screen Cell Circulating Tumor Cell device • Screen Cell Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) device is a blood collection kit that filters CTC’s from a blood sample • CTC’s can then be analyzed with ICE COLD - PCR for DNA mutations involved in cancer • Proof of Concept study completed with Dana Farber Cancer Institute and presented at the American Association of Cancer Research and the American Society of Clinical Oncology meetings in 2011

 
 

27 Value of ICE COLD - PCR/BLOCker • Combined techniques offer the highest sensitivity mutation detection capability in the marketplace • Automation and multiplex capable • Runs on standard Sanger sequencing instrumentation without any changes – Most labs worldwide already have Sanger equipment • Exceeds sensitivity of Next - Gen platforms • BLOCker can be applied to tumor testing or combined with ICE COLD - PCR to increase sensitivity • ICE COLD - PCR permits mutation testing on blood and Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC’s)
