  • NuGen Ovation Universal RNA-seq on Torrent

    Hi everyone,

    I would like to perform strand-oriented RNA libraries for sequencing on Ion Torrent with the Ovation Universal RNA-seq kit from Nugen.

    The adapters provided in the kit are only for Illumina.

    Have you tried to design adapters that are suited for Torrent?

    Do you know if NuGen will release such kit? They already sell RNA-seq kits that can be adapted on Ion Torrent but these kit only generate the cDNA, and there is no strand conservation.

    Thank you very much in advance.

    NuGen had an Ion Torrent kit but they discontinued it since it didn't sell well.

    We buy Ion Torrent adapters from Bioo Scientific and swap them out. You have to use 1/5 to 1/3 the amount in the Ion Torrent protocol or you will get adapter and PCR dimers.

      No RNA-seq adapters on Bioo Scientific

      Thank you very much for your reply.
      I just went on the Bioo Scientific website and for Torrent, they only offer DNA-seq kits, I do not see where you can get the adapters that can be adapted on the Ovation kit (with the appropriate site for InDA-C).

      best,

        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...
