I am preparing samples using the TruSeq DNA PCR Free library kit with UDI adaptors. The PI has requested that we perform Pippin Prep post adaptor ligation to remove adaptor contamination and target a narrow size distribution. Question is... because the protocol does not include denaturation prior to the final sequencing step, the non-homologous Y-shaped adaptors results in an atypical migration pattern on agarose gel and the Bioanalyzer results are substantially larger (750bp) than would be predicted (~350bp insert +adaptor range). Should I heat denature the samples prior to putting on Pippin Prep? Thoughts?

I don't have any advice but want to know if you tried this and if it worked out.Originally posted by vandykitty View Post -
The PI did not want to advert from the protocol without assurance from Illumina or Sage Science that this would work, so unfortunately, no we did not try this. Sending the samples out for sequencing today.Comment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
