February 2014—Integrated DNA Technologies launched the latest addition to its portfolio of next-generation sequencing products, xGen Universal Blocking Oligos. By incorporating these oligos into target-capture experiments, users can decrease the complexity and increase the throughput of their target-capture experiment without degrading performance.

The oligos are able to bind to all indexed adapters using a single oligonucleotide sequence, removing the need for multiple oligos. As a result, researchers can more readily multiplex their experiments for cost-effective enrichment of thousands of samples.
