  • Quantification method-iLlumina libraries

    Hello, I prepare libraries for RNAseq for a GAIIx we have. I use both High sensitivity DNA chip and KAPA library quant kit to quantify my samples. However, I have noticed sometimes for some samples the concentrations are way off as when I put even 4 pm i do nnot get anything and it seems over clustered(too many clusters/mm2)
    any suggestion or any kits/method I could reliably use so it does not have the limitation of not quantifying very highly concentrated samples?

    Thanks a lot in advance

    For high concentrated samples (e.g. with >5cycles PCR) I tend to nanodrop the sample first to get a rough reading of the concentration and dilute down to a range I have confidence that qPCR can quantify, for me that is 30nM (by Nanodrop).

    You might also try swapping out your standards from KAPA standards to one that is more similar to your sample. E.g. if you are qPCRing RNAseq libraries, choose a sample you have gotten good concentrations from at a given loading concentration and use that to prepare your standards for qPCR.

      Thanks a lot for the help will do so next time.

        Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
        by seqadmin


        The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin




        The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
