  • Please help! DNA samples for whole genome sequencing

    Hi folks,

    I have extracted DNA from fungi for whole genome sequencing (Truseq PCR free with 350 bp insert and HiSeq 2500 PE) using a kit. The extraction went smooth until I realized at the end that I treated my samples with only half of the recommended amount for RNase A (2 ul of 10 mg/ml instead of 2 ul of 20 mg/ml). I tried checking the DNA samples on 1% agarose and following is the gel image with 100-1000 bp ladder.





    I am not sure there are RNA bands (very faint though) at around 100-200 bp. Do you think my DNA samples are good enough to go for whole genome sequencing without additional treatments? Or shall I try to treat them with RNase A again? Unfortunately, I run out of fresh samples.

    I appreciate all your comments and suggestions.

    Best

    These look fine. Even if you have some RNA in your sample it won't make into your final library after fragmentation and ligation steps.

      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...
