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.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
