    Can you recommend a commercial HMW gDNA extraction service for insects in the US?

    Hello,

    I'm working on some extractions but am under a time crunch. I'd like to send away for extractions as a plan-B. Can anyone recommend a commercial or university lab that has experience with HMW gDNA extractions for PacBio sequencing specifically from insect tissue?

    Any good Yelp reviews or testimonials would be appreciated. I've contacted a few labs we work with and no luck find anyone with experience extracting insects.

    Going to keep looking, found one in Canada, but can't get the paperwork through in time for customs. Any advice is appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Dacotah

    Circulomics (makers of the HMW kit) has customized the protocol for a particular species and sent back DNA. You might try them, although I don't know if they rush for a time crunch.

    Have you looked at the low input protocol for PacBio-ing a single mosquito? https://www.pacb.com/publications/a-...io-sequencing/

      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
