KEY BENEFITS Low-input sample sources, such as cfDNA, are increasingly common in the research and
development of potential cancer diagnostic tools. Sequencing analysis of these sample
• Enables confident detection of low
types requires robust methods to confidently detect low frequency alleles. In these cases,
frequency variants in cancer research
unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) may be added to the standard NGS workflow. UMIs
• Matched UMI adapters improve offer increased sensitivity in quantitative variant identification where the data may be
sensitivity by reducing false positives impacted by confounding PCR duplicates.
• Fully compatible with Twist’s target
The Twist UMI adapter system fits seamlessly with Twist’s Mechanical Fragmentation
enrichment solutions
Library prep kit to produce sequencing-ready libraries compatible with Illumina systems.
• Available in 16 or 96 sample The 5 basepair matched UMI adapters are first ligated to the input molecules, and
configurations subsequently PCR amplified with Twist’s Unique Dual-Indexed primers. The resulting
indexed libraries enable post-sequencing consensus building, which offers better
detection sensitivity compared to standard methods. Twist’s UMI adapters can be
easily swapped for Twist’s universal adapters, without requiring significant workflow
modifications.
Engineered for optimal performance with heterogenous sample types, the system
consists of:
• Twist Unique Molecular Identifier (UMI) Adapters: Matched adapters compatible
with all ‘T-A’ overhang workflows.
• Twist 10 bp Unique Dual-Indexed (UDI) Primers: Designed with unique dual indices
for each mixed primer pair and provided in a 96-well plate format suitable for
automation applications.

Estimated per-base error rate for non-error-corrected reads (gray) and error-corrected reads (green) measured from target enrichment
of a synthetic cfDNA standard. After sequencing, reads were downsampled to 20,000x coverage and error correction was performed
using duplex collapse, requiring at least one read from each original strand.
