Primary ApplicationsDiscovery

Variant Detection

10

Protocol – Overview

Begin with prepped library from Illumina (or other library prep) kit

Hybridize library to probes for 4 hours

Use magnetic beads with streptavidin to sequester targets from the remainder of the library

Wash the beads and elute the targets

11

Probe Performance And Validation

Goal: Validate the performance of the individual probe

Studied Tm of hybridization of a single 120mer oligo to different targets having 0–7 bases mismatched (permissive G:T pairing or more disruptive T:T pairing)

Also studied targets with 1, 3, or 7 base insertions (indels)

12

Probe Performance and Validation – Design of Tm Experiment

120 bp 120 bp

1, 3, or 7 bp (All T) 7 bp (All T or All C) 7 bp (All T or All C)

Top strand = 121, 123, or 127 bp respectively Top strand = 134 bp

120 bp

Ultramer® Oligonucleotides had either 1, 3, or 7 G-T or T-T mismatches

13

Probe Performance And Validation – Conclusion

1–7 base mismatches had <5°C ΔTm

1 or 2 1–7 base insertions had <4°C ΔTm

These small changes in Tm will not affect capture

Thus use of a 120mer capture probe is sufficient

14

Applications - Overview

Application strengths of in-solution hybridization:

Identify integration sites of transposons and viral genomes Capture novel translocations and recombinations

Chromosomal translocation V(D)J recombination Splice variant

Capture novel SNPs in regions of interest

15

Applications – Viral and Transposon Integration Sites

The known sequence is the viral genome or the transposon sequence

The researcher is interested in finding the integration location Tile probes against the transposon sequences Sequence flanking, unknown sites

27

xGen® Standard Blocking Oligos

Complimentary to the adapter sequences with modification to inhibit extension

Bind to the adapter sequences attached to the library to inhibit hybridization of the adapters to one another

Available for Illumina, Ion Torrent, and Roche platforms

Can be used on indexed adapters

28

Blocking Oligos—Function

Two classes of blocking oligos are needed:

I) Cot1 DNA = Alu, LINE repeat elements

II) linkers/adapters

29

Blocking Oligos – Efficacy

~100% more on-target reads after blocking

Increased reads enable researchers to get more depth or multiplex more samples

30

xGen® Universal Blocking Oligos

A single sequence that can block multiple indices

Greatly reduce the number of blocking oligos needed in an experiment, decreasing cost and complexity of the target enrichment

Perform better than the individual index blocking oligos or blocking oligos with inosines
