  • Massive parallel amplicon sequencing on Illumina GA

    My questions are about amplicon sequencing.
    I would like to sequence numerous PCR products on the Illumina GA.
    I have about 50 amplicons that are my test group which I plan to scan on a set of 5 different RNA samples resulting in ~ 250 PCR products (amplicons).

    1. Is there a recommended protocol for the preparation of the amplicons for sequencing on the Illumina GA?
    2. Can I add the adpters directly to the PCR primers used to generate the amplicons?
    3. What is the best way to barcode (tag) the different PCR amplicons coming from different RNA sample?

    1. I checked in to doing amplicon sequencing with Illumina and as far as I can tell it has not been tried much
    2. You would want to get 5' phosphorylated primers to ligate to the Illumina adapters
    3. Illumina sells barcoded adapter kits, or you could append homebrewed barcodes to the PCR primers. The Illumina system uses a separate read just for the barcode.

    You will likely see amplification biases, so it probably won't be a great comparison between transcripts, but should be ok between samples.

        This will limit you to only sequencing the length of your reads into the amplimer. If you sonicate the PCR products before ligating the adaptors you can get coverage in the center of the amplimer.


        Did an Illumina amplicon run for us.

        Given the high error rate of 454 sequencing, I think the sonicated amplimer + short read sequencing is the way to go.

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
