Stocked Enrichment Panels for Targeted Next Generation Sequencing

xGen® Lockdown® Panels are stocked enrichment panels for targeted next generation sequencing. Lockdown Panels consist of individually synthesized and quality controlled Lockdown Probes that have been internally validated to provide the highest level of performance.

Design Method

The design of xGen® Lockdown® Panels is typically based on 1X tiling of xGen Lockdown Probes (Figure 1).

FIGURE 1. SCHEMATIC OF 1X TILING DENSITY. Probes are tiled end-to-end to allow each base within the region of interest to be covered at least once.

Synthesis

xGen® Lockdown® Probes are synthesized individually using the IDT Ultramer® synthesis platform, which incorporates the highest coupling rate (~99.6%) in the oligonucleotide manufacturing industry to provide high quality, long oligonucleotides.

The quality of each probe is then assessed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS; Figure 2 shows a typical trace). Even probes with high GC content can be synthesized. Probes that do no pass QC are documented, unlike probes from an array pool, where there is no way of knowing beforehand of their presence or absence.
