Caveat emptor.
"If the reagents used for building libraries themselves (or those used for amplifying and confirming the clones following screening experiments) inadvertently contain cross-contaminated oligos, it will make the situation more complex.
We realized this possibility recently, as we observed some unexpected results (presence of unrelated sequences) when setting up a CRISPR library screening, which prompted us to investigate the issue further. Our systematic analyses of various reagents, research equipment, and multiple vendor-supplied oligos suggested that commercially synthesized oligos are the source for such cross-contaminants."

@cyrilpedia Oh no. It's one of those https://xkcd.com/1574/ situations, isn't it?
