  • More than half of Smart-seq2 data is TSO,ISPCR concatemers!

    Hi all,
    Last month, I made fixed tissue (5< RIN < 7) RNA-seq library using SMART-seq2 method. (I thought single cell library prep method is suitable for fixed sample because of low quantity of RNA and even broken RNA could be captured by poly-A primer in RT )

    However, I found that multiple TSO, ISPCR sequences were included in library reads(Mostly less than 300bp reads). Even though I checked library quality by DNA high sensitivity chip, but almost 50% of reads has mostly TSO oligomers.

    Is there anyone who faced same problems? How can I solve this? Any suggestion would be welcomed

    What type of size selection did you use?
    I guess, these results are likely due to the lack of size-selection and low inputs? since you were working low integrity/quality RNA samples from fixed tissues?

    We have no experience with such samples, though.

      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...
