Hi everyone,
I've been having issues with the quantification of my library pool, and I'm hoping you'll have some helpful suggestions on what is causing the problem.
My pool is 3.5 ng/uL based on HS Qubit. I ran a HS tapestation, and found an average fragment size of 364 bp with no adapter-dimer peak present. So my pool should be 14.6 nM. However, qPCR has consistently yielded results that are ~30 nM - double what I expected.
Since there's no adapter-dimer peak on the tapestation trace, any ideas what could be causing the problem?
The WGS libraries were KAPA Hyper preps with amplification, followed by a target enrichment with MyBaits. There was an additional amplification after the capture assay.
There is a double peak on my qPCR melt curve for this sample, but no evidence of adapter-dimer on the tapestation, so I'm not sure how much this relates to my quantification discrepancy.
Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
