  • mRNA library - final loading concentration for MiSeq?

    Probably this has been covered before, but with the information scattered in numerous threads I'll ask again... What final loading concentrations are people using with a TruSeq stranded mRNA (total fragment size ~ 260 bp) library? We will be using a v3 600 cycles kit. We are aware this is a bit of waste of cycles, as it will read through the adapters. Next time we will probably try to get larger fragments.

    We have only done one previous run with a v3 kit (~520 bp fragment). We loaded 9.5 pm and got a cluster density on the low side (784K clusters/mm2). Now the fragment is about half that size; should we load less because of the shorter fragment? This post suggests that shorter fragments will cluster much more efficiently. On the other hand, the previous run was far below the optimum density, so I am inclined to increase the concentration.
    So, what final concentrations do you guys load for TruSeq stranded mRNA libraries (with standard fragmentation times)?

    In my experience every lab quantification results are different even when they use the same reagents and instruments. The best approach is to be cautious and increase loading gradually for different library type/size. Based on your previous run cluster number, if your libraries are high diversity, you can increase loading to 14 pM.

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      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...
