DIY illumina adapters

05-03-2011, 07:00 AM

Hi All:
Trying to determine whether I can get away with making my own adapters for the HiSEQ 2000.
I've got a library of small DNA (125nt) fragments, and would like to sample the diversity of this library pre- and post-selections.

I get it that there is that funky fork with a Phosphorothioate Bond...and that the Tm of the sequencing primer is in the high 70s. Has anyone built their own adapters, or should I just buy the genomic DNA prep kit...?

Also, I am not compiling huge contigs, but rather, assessing the diversity of the library through selections...what, other than the QC descriptions, do I need to assess this diversity? Can someone point me towards the PERL scripts that would process these data into counted bins of reads?

Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival

by SEQadmin2

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by GATTACAT

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...
