  • Pooling multiplexed libraries after ligation, before PCR

    Does anyone do this with the TruSeq kits? Illumina advertised this feature very strongly in their presentations in my area, as a huge time saving feature of the TruSeq kits as compared to the older sample prep kits... yet the product manual doesn't say anything about it. I'm a bit worried about uneven amplification of the libraries during a pooled PCR. Any comments?

    Would that also cause jumping errors and waste of sequencing reads?

      Hi I'd like to refresh this thread. Has anyone had success with TruSeq library prep, if you pool your adapter ligated samples prior to the PCR enrichment step?

        Pooling prior to PCR amplification is not recommended. It precludes the option of adjusting the concentrations of individual libraries to obtain equal read depth.

          Done once. DO NOT attempt it. Some libraries just dissapeared.

            We didn't do that. In theory, it may cause unbalanced library pool. Some libraries could have very low sequencing reads.

              Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
              by seqadmin


              Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

              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...
