  • TrueSeq PCR free POOR LIGATION efficiencies

    Is anyone else seeing poor ligation efficiencies for Truseq PCR free preps? Our BA and quBit values are high and qPCR values are very low.
    <10% ligation efficiency.

    Can anyone help?

    Are you seeing the correct size on the BA trace?

    I had pretty low yield on the last pcr free library I made, a little over 1nM. Loaded ~6pM and still got around 10Gb (V3, 2x275).

      What is the normal efficiency?

        I've seen the same thing. Some folks are doubting the adapters and adding double (5ul of 15uM index per reaction). From what i have tested it looks like ligation efficiency is much better with low input (100-200ng). higher input seems to drastically impact the results even when swapping out ligation mixes from other manufacturers, which performed better but did not result in satisfactory ligation efficiencies.

        Has anyone had issues with the atailing mix? wondering if the dATPs are limiting or the Klenow is crap.

        Best,

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin




          The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

          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...
