  • Bead removal of <1000 bp from LARGE fragments

    Hi,

    Trying to prep some very large fragment libraries (>50 kbp), and I've isolated the gDNA using a BluePippin, but when I use beads (Promega ProNex) to clean up, or rather, remove the small fragments (<1000 bp), I get low yield of the input 50 kbp gDNA.

    Are there specific beads that are better for this? AMPure XP PB? Suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Andor

    The beads are likely all very similar. You could try to elute for a much longer time than usual for short fragments.

      No, I don't want the small fragments. I want only fragments LARGER than 1000 bp.

      In essence, I want to eliminate any small (unseen) fragments that may unduly influence a nanopore/ONT minION library prep.

      Thanks

        Loss of large fragments mostly can be due to inefficient binding. longer incubation of bead-DNA solution on a rotating wheel should increase recovery.
        Quantifying supernatant with PicoGreen or Qubit dsDNA HS assay can point if this is the case.

        Circulomics short read eliminator kit is also a good choice.

          You misunderstood me: Long fragments will require a longer time to elute/dissolve from the beads compared to shorter fragments.

            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...
