What Advantages Does IDT Offer?
IDT1. Oligos are individually synthesized at
very high coupling rate (99.5%)
2. Each oligo undergoes QC and is normalized
3. 7–10 day turnaround time
4. End-to-end tiling possible, reducing the number of probes
Competitors1. Oligos are synthesized in parallel on a
microarray (~98% coupling)
2. Molecules are cleaved off the array, so individual QC is not possible
3. 6–8 week turnaround time
4. Attempt to compensate coverage issues by “boosting”
5. Oligos for RNA baits may undergo transcription

High Performance of xGen® Lockdown® Probes
• One of the most important aspects of capture is uniformity
• Key targets with low depth of coverage limit the sample size
• High uniformity allows you to multiplex more samples and have more efficient target enrichment and sequencing
16
INTEGRATED DNA TECHNOLOGIES
Excellent Coverage of xGen® Lockdown® Probes
• 4 samples multiplexed on a MiSeq® run
• Average depth of coverage is 300X
• >99% covered by ≥30X

Advantages of the xGen® Rapid Capture Protocol
• xGen® Lockdown® Probes have been optimized with the xGen Rapid Capture Protocol Hybridization time is reduced to 4 hr but can be extended to 18 hr
Total hands-on time is 6–8 hr
Complete library in 1 (long) day or 2 days
• xGen Rapid Capture Protocol provides the flexibility to expand or augment your panel without replacing it Purchase a supplementary panel of xGen Lockdown Probes and add the probes into
your current panel
Added probes do not affect the capture properties of existing probes in your pool

Predesigned Gene Capture Pools
• Cancer types have different target genes Kandoth, et al. (2013) Nature
502:333–339
• Labs or cores studying multiple diseases (e.g., different types of cancer) may use a combination of overlapping and different gene groups

Share xGen® Predesigned Gene Capture Pools Between Multiple Researchers
• Researchers in your lab study different diseases(e.g., bladder urothelial carcinoma and acute myeloid leukemia)
• Some genes are common to both diseases, but others occur in only one of these diseases
• xGen® Predesigned Gene Capture plates allow the researchers to share the common genes and add disease-specific genes for each study

Decrease the Cost of Target Capture
• xGen® Lockdown® Probes are your target capture solution
• A custom panel is too expensive and may contain too much material
• Example: 125 protein-coding genes of xGen Pan-Cancer Panel
4962 probes
List price on the mini scale $74,430
125 xGen Predesigned Gene Capture Pools cost $12,500 for 16 reactions and $18,750 for 96 reactions
Save $61,970 (83% less than panel) on 16 reactions and save $55,680 (75% less than panel) on 96 reactions
31
INTEGRATED DNA TECHNOLOGIES
Expand Existing Panels with xGen® Predesigned Gene Capture Pools
• Expand an existing IDT stocked panel or custom panel No need to purchase a new panel that targets all the regions
Keep your existing panel—spike-in performance shows similar results to original panel
• xGen® Predesigned Gene Capture Pools have a turnaround time of 7–10 days, allowing you to quickly obtain and validate your new panel
32

Build Panels to Suit Your Budget
• Build your own panel with xGen® Predesigned Gene Capture Pools
• Example: Average cost for 20 coding genes with a custom panel using xGen® Lockdown®
Probes—$6,500
20 xGen Predesigned Gene Capture Pools:
• $2,000 for 16 reactions
• $3,000 for 96 reactions
20-gene panel can be used in multiplex capture so that 10 samples are run in a single capture:
• 160 samples for 16-reaction size
• 960 samples for 96-reaction size
40
INTEGRATED DNA TECHNOLOGIES
Decrease the Cost of Target Capture
• Coding regions are not the only targets of interest
• With xGen® Predesigned Gene Capture Pools you can reduce the overall cost of your panels and still target non-coding regions
• Example: You need 30 genes—5 with UTRs, 2 with introns, and 5 intergenicregions Input the 30 genes as xGen Predesigned Gene Capture Pools
Input the remaining regions as custom xGen Lockdown® Probes
Reduce the cost of the 30 genes by $7,000 for 16 reactions and $5,500 for 96 reactions
