Did someone try the XGen blocking oligo from IDT instead of classical blocking oligos ? Is there a improvement of the off target ?

Hi, thank you for your answer.
I understand that you use dual indexing.
My first question is : Did you try specific Xgen blocker or the universal one for Illumina HT libraries ?
My second one : what was the on-target before using the Xgen blocker ? Is there an improvement by using it ?

Thanks superduper,
I'm doing to setup pre indexing hybridization method and test xGen IDT oligo blocks.
I'm happy to meet you here.
I am a little of bit surprised that on-target rate of perfect complementary blocking oligo was lower than xGen.
Conceptually some idea maybe was in synthesis of oligo for blocking.

Originally posted by superduperI was using one barcode per library.
1. I used the universal 8nt blocking oligo (mix of TS-p5 and TS-p7(8nt))
2. my on-targets were:
single capture; barcoding happens after hyb step (basically XT protocol): 70%
XGen blocking: 58-73%
Inosines instead of barcode location: up to 33%
perfect complement: 45%
random nucleotides: up to 35%
This is for PE37 sequencing. To compare samples where I had run reads longer, I clipped them back to PE37 to have a fair comparison between different conditions.
Your % on-target will increase the longer your read lengths are; I saw PE101 of 82% translate to 69% when I clipped it to PE37.

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
