Briefly, cDNA from single neurons prepared using SMART-Seq4 kit spent 90 minutes at 95°C due to human error. Is the cDNA to be discarded or can it still be used for library preparation with Nextera XT and sent to sequencing?
Thanks

Prolonged high heat exposure definitely introduces a lot of damages to DNA. I would expect it to be pretty fragmented by now. I also assume the Nextera transpose would require dsDNA - thus, you would need to add at least another PCR cycle. Perhaps you could use this S1 kit instead?: https://swiftbiosci.com/products/acc...-library-kits/
If the sample can be reproduced, best dump it.Last edited by luc; 07-13-2018, 05:55 PM.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Yesterday, 06:46 AM -
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
