    Ghost sequences

    Hi Friends

    Custom protocol sequencing gave 90% junk sequences. Rest is matching the human genome. Majority of junk sequences are repeats of adapter/primer, where the sequencing primer should bind. You can get a gist of the aligned sequences and the organization of the final library product in the attached pdf.

    I am using RP1 and RPI1 primers with a PS (Phosphorothioate) bonds at the penultimate base. Both the primers are HPLC purified from a reputed supplier. Earlier I had a doubt that PS bonds are interfering cluster formation. However, techsupport clearly mentioned that this cannot be the case. Is it because of some contaminating primer from the other libraries, which were sequenced in the lane? Has anyone seen such sequences in their libraries?

    Your input will be of great help! Thanks!

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
