Does anyone have experience with immunoprecipitation or Dynabead pulldown of large TdT end labeled(biotinylated) restriction fragments (>10kb)?

Genomic DNA is digested with a restriction enzyme, end labeled with biotin-dNTP with TdT, and then immunoprecipitated with Protein G Dynabeads coated with anti-biotin antibody.

For preparation of next-generation sequencing libraries, why is end repair performed at 20 degrees?

The subsequent step with Klenow exo- is done at 37 degrees to adenylate the blunt ended fragments. End repair uses a cocktail of T4 DNA polymerase, Klenow, and polynucleotide kinase.
