Current methods do not take into account technological errors, such as library codification and sequencing errors, when detecting the sequences. The vast amount of data produced by next-generation sequencing of DEL screens is usually enough to extract the minimum information needed for compound identification. Here, we report a methodology to deconvolute encoding oligonucleotides, thus optimizing the sequencing power regardless of the library size, design complexity, or sequencing technology chosen. tagFinder is a highly flexible tool for fast tag detection and thorough DEL results characterization, which requires minimal hardware resources, scales linearly, and does not introduce any analytical error. The methodology can even deal with sequencing errors and PCR duplicates on single- or double-stranded DNA, enhancing the analytical detection and quantification of molecules and the informativeness of the entire process.
