The pre-capture libraries were pooled as a 4-plex (approximately 500 ng/sample, 1 ug per pool) and hybridized in solution to the HGSC CORE design42 (link) (52Mb, NimbleGen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol (NimbleGen SeqCap EZ Exome Library SR User’s Guide) with minor revisions. Human COT1 DNA and full-length Illumina adaptor-specific blocking oligonucleotides were added into the hybridization to block repetitive genomic sequences and the adaptor sequences, followed by post-capture LM-PCR amplification using the 2X SOLiD Library High Fidelity Amplification Mix with 14 cycles of amplification. After the final SPRI bead purification, quantity and size of the capture library was analyzed using the Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 DNA Chip 7500. The efficiency of the capture was evaluated by performing a qPCR-based quality assay on the four standard NimbleGen internal controls. Successful enrichment of the capture libraries was estimated to range from a 6 to 9 of ΔCt value over the non-enriched samples.
