Modified SureSelectQXT Target Enrichment Protocol for Illumina Multiplexed Sequencing of FFPE Samples.

Conclusions: Our experiments allowed us to unveil the behaviour of low-quality FFPE DNA samples during the construction of SureSelectQXT libraries. Sequencing results showed that, using our modified SureSelectQXT protocol, the final percentage of usable reads for low-quality samples was increased more than three times allowing to reach median depth/million reads values of 76.35. This value is equivalent to ~ 0.9 and ~ 0.7 of the values obtained for good-quality FFPE and high-quality DNA respectively. PMID: 30337841 [PubMed]
