Thank you for the reply! You did magbead cleanup of the SMRTbell library? I have been submitting samples to a sequence center, so unfortunately I don't have much control over what gets done, or what steps failed. I am trying to get more information to help troubleshoot my experiment.
It seems to me that the original gDNA can be cleaned up further - using powerclean Pro kit form MoBio, or do additional cleanup of the final library.
Do you have a feeling for which approach is better?
The initial cleanup I can do - the latter would have to be done by the PacBio sequencing provider, but I could suggest that they do the additional cleanup step.
I found some posters from PacBio on the subject. I think they tried a few different cleanup methods (magbead, qiaquick, etc). So perhaps this is a common problem and should always be done as a final cleanup of the library before sequencing?
Are you part of a PacBio sequence center? If so, I could submit my samples to your center so at least I know they would be cleaned up if a problem arises? Or maybe suggest a center that you have had good success with?
Thanks again,
Jeff
