Poster Session
Abstract: Increasing the throughput of NGS sequencing through rational design and empirical validation of 10,000 Unique Dual Indexes (UDI). To assess the performance of individual barcodes to increase the throughput of NGS sequencing, Twist developed Artificial Barcoded Libraries (ABLs), a high throughput NGS library generation method that utilizes fragmentation of a human genomic source and automation to generate thousands of unique NGS libraries with minimal bias. The approach yielded more than 10,000 pairs of 12bp UDI primers. Performance criteria for uniform UDI primer sets with thousands of members that are suitable for high multiplex hybridization applications and investigations are presented.
