1Target regions refer to the regions that are actually covered by the designed probes; 2Reads mapped to target regions are reads that are within or overlap with the target region; 3Capture specificity is defined as the percentage of uniquely mapped reads aligning to the target region; 4Flanking region refers to regions ±200 bp on both sides of each target region; 5PCR duplicates would have the same start and end for both mates, which rarely occurs by chance. Duplication rate is the fraction of duplicated reads in the raw data.
