KAPA HyperExome V2 Probes product

Efficient whole-exome sequencing (WES) begins with expertly designed probes that effectively capture challenging genomic regions.

 

KAPA HyperExome V2 Probes, the latest Roche WES design, delivers superior coverage of recent versions of ACMGv3.1, RefSeq, CCDS, ClinVar, Ensembl, and COSMIC genomic databases. This design also reduces sequencing requirements, with a compact capture target of 43.2 Mb covering 37.5 Mb of key content.  

  • Leverage the most relevant genomic databases
  • Unlock unique insights in translational research by capturing more content from key genomic databases
  • Achieve higher uniformity across the entire range of %GC content
  • Sequence with confidence with an improved whole-exome workflow
  • Streamline targeted sequencing with the HyperCap Workflow, driven by KAPA HyperPrep, KAPA HyperPlus, and KAPA EvoPlus Library Prep Kits 

Performance data

Leverage the most relevant databases
  • Build confidence by using a design featuring updated ClinVar, RefSeq & Ensembl content* 
  • Achieve exceptional coverage of ACMGv3.1, CCDS, ClinVar, COSMIC, Ensembl, HGMD, & RefSeq databases 
  • Balance specificity & coverage with probes designed using the telomere-to-telomere genome assembly CHM13

Figure 1. Superior probe database coverage by the KAPA HyperExome V2 design compared to other suppliers’ designs across important genomic databases (better coverage by as much as 17%). Database data retrieved in Jan 2023, unpadded capture target used to compare across suppliers. The KAPA HyperExome V2 panel was designed to cover coding exon sequence from the following annotation sources: RefSeq (June 29, 2022), ClinVar (June 29, 2022) and Ensembl release v106.3

Unlock unique insights in translational research
  • Cover more bases and reduce “blind” spots, leaving fewer unknowns
  • Increase value and confidence in the results with superior coverage of database content

Figure 2. Percent bases covered by at least 30X across some key genomic databases. KAPA HyperExome V2 Probes deliver better database coverage compared to Suppliers I, A, and T, which leave more “blind” spots and may thus require repeated experiments and/or the addition of supplemental probes. Supplier sample prep protocols were followed with singleplex 4h hybridizations for Supplier I (3 replicates, NA12878), 8-plex O/N hybridizations for Supplier A (48 data points from 6 replicate captures of 16 coriell DNAs), 8-plex O/N hybridizations for Supplier T (72 data points from 16 coriell and 24 blood-extracted DNAs) and 16-plex O/N hybridizations for the KAPA HyperExome V2 Probes (48 data points from 16 blood-extracted DNAs in 3 captures) with the KAPA EvoPlus Kit, KAPA HyperPlus Kit, and KAPA HyperPrep Kit (48 data points from 16 coriell DNAs in 3 captures). KAPA HyperExome V2 Probes-enriched libraries were sequenced on a NovaSeq™ 6000 System at 2 x 100 bp and 60 M high-quality reads were analyzed per library. Supplier-enriched libraries were sequenced proportionally to their capture target size.3

Achieve higher uniformity across the entire %GC range
  • Obtain exceptionally uniform coverage even through the extremes of the %GC spectrum
  • Eliminate GC bias to cover low- and high-GC regions equally well, with an optimized design and uniform library amplification

Figure 3. Exceptional uniformity of normalized capture coverage across the extremes of the GC% spectrum. The blue dashed line represents the optimal uniformity in the ideal state in which all regions—regardless of their GC content—would be equally covered. Exome libraries were prepared using KAPA HyperExome V2 Probes, Supplier T exome probes, or Supplier A exome probes as described in Figure 2. Sequencing and analysis were carried out as described for Figure 2.

Sequence with confidence

Increase result confidence by following sample identities throughout the workflow with sample-tracking endogenous SNPs covered by the KAPA HyperExome V2 Probes. Or, explore new potential capabilities with a unique set of 96 probes that are included in the panel and designed to capture non-naturally occurring sequences that can be spiked into samples.

  • Select from an extensive list of 529 sample-tracking SNPs that includes the Pengelly1 and Yousefi2 sets
  • Rely on high precision (99.49%) and recall (98.95%) for SNP detection
  • Explore new possibilities with 96 utility probes embedded in the design, which may be used to capture exogenous synthetic DNA fragments, potentially used as process controls

Streamline targeted sequencing with the KAPA HyperCap Workflow

KAPA HyperCap Workflow delivers complex libraries by combining the high conversion rate of KAPA HyperPrepKAPA HyperPlus, and KAPA EvoPlus Kits with KAPA HyperCap probes (such as KAPA HyperExome V2 Probes), creating a streamlined, single-vendor supported workflow.

  • Multiplex up to 16 samples in the same capture, and potentially post-capture multiplex more samples in the same sequencing lane, with KAPA UDI Primer Mixes,1-384
  • Reduce workflow complexity and hands-on time with KAPA Universal Enhancing Oligos, eliminating the need for adapter-matched blocking oligos
  • Automate the entire KAPA HyperCap Workflow without the need for a SpeedVac—now with all hybridization and bead wash steps at 55ºC

KAPA HyperExome V2 Design Files

The design and annotation files provide information about genomic regions covered by the capture probes and the genes included in these regions.

The KAPA HyperExome V2 panel was designed to cover coding exon sequence from the following annotation sources: RefSeq (June 29, 2022), ClinVar (June 29, 2022) and Ensembl release v106. The panel covers 529 sample tracking SNPs to facilitate sample identity tracking in the workflow. A set of 96 probes, composed of non-naturally occurring sequences, are included in the design. These probes may be used to capture exogenous synthetic DNA fragments, potentially used as process controls.

The total design size is 43.2 Mb of capture target space; the capture targets BED file shows the capture probe footprint. The UCSC Browser BED files are provided for upload as a custom track. All design files are provided in the original hg38 genome assembly and also converted to hg19 genome assembly. Conversion was performed using the NCBI Genome Remapping Service.
