Hello. I am using the Thermo Scientific™ MuSeek Library Preparation Kit for Ion Torrent™ and I have performed fragmentation, purification and adaptor+barcode ligation. Can I store the barcoded, amplified library in the fridge for a few days before performing the size selection? Or is there a better safe stopping point? Thanks

Not familiar with this kit, however, I would expect that a few days in the fridge will be fine. Is this suspended in TE, as this will also reduce dnase activity. -
Post ligation is ok to stop at. I'd recommend finishing up size selection then storing the library, but you'll be fine after the ligation step.Comment

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
