NEBNext FFPE DNA Repair Mix
The DNA repair step is easily integrated into sequencing workflows for any platform, upstream of library preparation, and treatment results in both increased library yields and increased library quality.
Table 1: Types of FFPE DNA damage and their ability to be repaired by the NEBNext FFPE DNA Repair Mix
FFPE DAMAGE TYPE | REPAIRED BY THE FFPE DNA ENZYME REPAIR MIX? |
Deamination of cytosine to uracil | Yes |
Nicks and gaps | Yes |
Oxidized bases | Yes |
Blocked 3´ ends | Yes |
DNA fragmentation | No |
DNA-protein crosslinks | No |

Panel A: The effect of DNA repair on the percentage of mappable reads. Reads were mapped to the human genome (hg19) using BWA (1).
Panel B: The effect of DNA repair on the percentage of reads that were properly paired from a paired-end sequencing protocol.
