Compositions and Methods for Improving Library Enrichment

Abstract:

This disclosure describes a hybridization buffer including a crowding agent, a method that includes using the hybridization buffer, and a kit including the hybridization buffer. This disclosure also describes blockers for use in hybrid capture methods, methods of using those blockers, and a kit including those blockers. Additionally, this disclosure describes a method of hybrid capture that does not include amplifying the library members using PCR prior to sequencing the library members.
