What is index hopping?
Index hopping (or index switching) is a known phenomenon where sequencing reads are assigned to incorrect indexes, potentially leading to misalignment of reads or incorrect assumptions in downstream analyses. Using unique dual indexes minimizes index hopping and is recommended for sensitive applications.
