  • Agilent capture baits

    I am setting up targeted sequencing using custom Agilent capture system. The design of the capture baits returned nearly 100,000 probes. The information is provided as BED file. Is there a good way of evaluating the design quality, other than manually inspecting location of 1000s of probes (), before committing to kit production? In particular, the coverage of different loci varies considerably - presumably on account of repeats and perhaps GC content variation (?). What are relative merits of bait boosting vs higher density tiling (1X density vs 2X density)?
    Answers and/or pointers to resources appropriate for novices would be gratefully appreciated.

    Manually inspecting? IGV.

    More automated...I use coverageBed all the time to check one region versus another.

      capture baits

      Thanks ECO for the pointers - slowly getting on top of this.
      Is there any resource that could explain benefits of different options in targeted capture probe design? For instance, bait boosting (by Agilent protocol) appears to help with high GC regions and orphan probes but has no effect on target coverage. The probe density appears to have moderate effect on coverage but at a significant cost in terms of number of probes required for the same target as one would expect. I would like to learn how to balance these things but not sure where to start.
      Any help would be appreciated

        Addressing Off-Target Effects in CRISPR Technologies
        by seqadmin






        The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...

        Selecting and Optimizing mRNA Library Preparations
        by seqadmin



        Sequencing mRNA provides a snapshot of cellular activity, allowing researchers to study the dynamics of cellular processes, compare gene expression across different tissue types, and gain insights into the mechanisms of complex diseases. “mRNA’s central role in the dogma of molecular biology makes it a logical and relevant focus for transcriptomic studies,” stated Sebastian Aguilar Pierlé, Ph.D., Application Development Lead at Inorevia. “One of the major hurdles for...
