Abstract
This protocol is for target enrichment of cDNA libraries generated with 10x Genomics single-cell RNA-seq assays. The protocol consists of parts of vendor provided protocols with minor modification. The hybridization and PCR part is based on "CG000059_DemonstratedProtocolExome_RevC" (10x Genomics) and the capture part is based on "SureSelectXT Target Enrichment System for Illumina Paired-End Multiplexed Sequencing Library Protocol Version C3, September 2019" (Agilent).
