This. Also, the small RNA adapter is different from the "standard" Illumina adapter, so make sure you trimmed the correct adapter sequence.

I have Covaris digested DNA of 1-2 kb and it works well. I think your problem is #2.

In my experience the yield from the E-gel is terrible, which makes sense as it doesn't take DNA very long to cross the buffer well. The Pippin should be able to give you as good or better resolution...

Unless there is a large amount of excess PCR primer compared to actual library product it should not occupy enough primers on the flow cell to make any difference. The flow cell has enough primers on...

TriLink has indeed modified the adapters to greatly reduce adapter-dimer formation, but I am not sure exactly how it works. In my experience their kit works well but still has big issues with bias.

Can't you just extend the sequencing primers in the other direction, into the P5/P7? Another option would be to add an LNA base or two, but that would be more expensive.

Hi Sunitha,
I do not know the concentration of the primers in the Illumina kit, but you can probably estimate it fairly accurately using a Nanodrop or Qubit ssDNA assay.
FYI, you can get...

To expand on this a little, it appears that all Bioanalyzer DNA and RNA chips are the same chip, just with a different sticker.

I think this is what you need:

You don't need to put in the index sequence, as cutadapt will remove...

I know that to select small RNA libraries of ~150 bp and exclude adapter-dimer at ~130 bp you must use settings way different from expected (115 bp-170 bp collection range), so I am not surprised...

The 600 cycle v3 kits were showing really poor base qualities toward the end of reads. I am not sure if Illumina has resolved this yet.

I agree that the hump is likely degraded rRNA. This is often accompanied by a "peak" of degraded products around 100 nt, but I suspect you aren't seeing that here due to your extraction method. This...

The peak you see at 270 is almost certainly phenol contamination, and means any Nanodrop quantification can't be trusted. The good news is that it might not actually be that bad. This amount of...

In my experience degraded RNA shows a strong peak around 100 nt on the Bioanalyzer, so that doesn't exactly look like degraded RNA to me. Since your purification removed the <200nt RNAs, the ~100nt...
