  • 1/5 Nextera Flex number of cycles

    Hi,
    We are about to start a fairly large experiment with the Nextera Flex kit in a very limited time. After some testing and reading experiences we have decided to do the kit at 1/5 strength. Now we are wondering if the DNA input should be adjusted as well. We will use 6uL DNA input (1/5 of 30), but does this mean that should contain >20ng (1/5 of 100) or still >100 to reach normalization with 5 cycles? Do you add a couple of cycles and if so how many? Is there such a thing as too many cycles? (we've been advised to do 16 cycles but that sounds like way too many but what about 8 or 10?).
    I'm confident we will have enough library for sequencing but because of the number of samples that we plan to pool I am really hoping to use the kit's normalization and to avoid normalization by dilution.

    Any luck?

    Did you have any luck at 1/5x library construction? Can you post the source of the original protocol you used?

      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...
