Jumping in to address my own question:

The fact that this pattern appears consistently indicates some systematic error/issue. Looking back at old gels, I noticed that some of my digests showed...

Is this library overamplification? Is this problematic?

Aloha all,

I definitely DO have library overamplification in some of my libraries (as evidenced by a secondary peak, likely the result of the "daisy-chaining" effect). But that's not really what...

Thanks for the response, luc! I'm currently working through a ddRAD protocol (my second library). Long story short I have digested DNA w/ ligated adapters. I bead-cleaned them after pooling, but...

Why is it commonly recommended to Speed-Vac without heat?

Especially when it comes to Illumina libraries, why is it commonly recommended to Speed-Vac without heat? Is this to prevent (or slow down) potential DNase activity?

I use the Biotium AccuClear system, and for that you simply mix the DNA with the dye/buffer mixture by pipetting and allow it to sit for ~ 5 mins. I would bet good money that the same approach would...

Removal of carry-over EtOH after bead purification of DNA

I recently purified some DNA (double-digest of genomic DNA) with SPRI beads, and I don't believe I let them dry long enough to get rid of excess EtOH used during the rinse step before eluting the DNA...

What do you guys think about AMD's Threadripper 1950X for these kinds of builds? $1,000 for the processor with 16 cores/32 threads, can be overclocked stable at 4.0 GHz? Good value?

STACKS and PE Illumina Data (ddRAD)

I have a dataset from a ddRAD library (Illumina HiSeq4K, 150PE). I'm playing around with STACKS, and noticed that it has some limitations when dealing with paired-end data from ddRAD datasets.

I don't think it should be much of a problem, unless I'm misunderstanding something. If the lower ratio is a concern, I would recommend taking one (or a few) of your PCR products and trying both...

I see! Well, I'd recommend using a ratio slightly less than 1.8x. I'd lower that to 1.5x or so and see if it makes a difference (30 uL AmpureXP to 20 uL ladder dilution).

I think that the sodium ions, in this case, may be somehow facilitating the binding of DNA to the carboxylated surface of the beads rather than playing a large role in the actual precipitation.

Hey tugecko,

I'm doing ddRAD as well. Size-selection with beads tends to leave you with a relatively wide range of fragment sizes (folks in my lab do ezRAD quite a bit, and this is the method they...

A little bit of EtOH carry-over is preferable to loss, which can happen if you over-dry your beads. And that is a very, very fine line.

I would actually reduce your dry times to below 5 minutes...

I find that over-drying the beads is incredibly easy to do, and will cause massive reductions in yield. For smaller volumes of bead, I don't recommend drying for more than two minutes.
