  • 16S Library Problems - Help!

    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to study the pig gut microbiome, utilising 16S amplicon sequencing on the MiSeq. After optimising barcoded primers for this and creating a construct at correct size (~300bp), I submitted this for QC. It has become evident that the adapter sequence is present in very low quantities (if at all) after carrying out qPCR.

    In more detail, I create the construct using 2 PCR rounds. The first round are common read 1 and read 2 primers which add a section of the adapter sequences. The second PCR round extends out from this, utilising a common read 1 primer extension for all samples and a variable (barcoded) read 2 primer specific to each sample (4 cycles). I add these primers directly to the product from the round 1 PCR and carry out a further 4 cycles of PCR before cleaning up with AMpure beads.

    I am confused, since a product is clearly evident on an agarose gel and also gave decent tapestation results. However, I have been told that sequencing these products will be useless, due to the very low qPCR reads. If anyone has any advice on this matter, I would be very grateful!

    Cheers,

    Joze

    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...
