  • Same adapter sequence on both ends of fragments

    Hi all,

    I am preparing a DNA library for Miseq and ran into problems with the library adapters (Illumina and Nextflex). After ligating the adapters to my A-tailed fragments and doing the PCR, I cloned some the fragments and realized that most of them have the same adapter sequence on both ends. To explain myself better, here is what I mean by that:

    correct: >Adapter1>----XXXXX---->Adapter2>

    in my case: >Adapter1>----XXXXX----<Adapter1<

    > = orientation

    In theory this should be impossible due to the T-overhang in the ds-adapter and the A-tailing of the fragments. However, this is what I get. I am not sure if the issue is the ligation or the PCR. I already tried to repeat the A-tailing, to use different adapters (Illumina & Nextflex) and perform the PCR with less DNA (1:15). Right now I am going even further down with the amount (1:150) to see if that helps. Otherwise I thought about cloning and sequencing the ligation products before the PCR (after a quick denaturation).

    Did anyone of you ever have similar issue and could give me some advice? I would very much appreciate it!

    Thanks a lot.

    Philipp

    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...
