I want to obtain long read data for 6 bacterial isolates. I have purchased the minion starter kit with the ligation kit and native barcode kit. I am confused on why the protocol requires the Blunt/TA ligase master mix and the NEBNext Quick Ligation Module, it seems like its redundant. Could I just use the NEBNext Quick Ligation Module which does blunt and TA ligation for both barcoding and adding the adapter?
From what I understand is that I do the dA tailing on my DNA, ligate unique barcodes to each sample, pool the different barcodes together at a certain concentration and ligate the adapters. Last question, how necessary is the qubit? I only have a nanodrop and was curious if anyone has prepped a library using a nanodrop only. |

So ONT contacted me with an answer to my question.
The Blunt/TA ligase master mix was validated in-house for the ligation of the barcodes. However, feel free to just use T4 from the Quick Ligation Module. If you go this route, please see the following suggestion: So, the total reaction would include: End prep DNA 22.5 µl Native Barcode Adapter 2.5 µl NEBNext Quick T4 DNA Ligase 10 µl NEBNext Quick Ligation Reaction Buffer (5X) 15 ul Total 50 µl I plan on skipping the FFPE repair step because I plan preping fresh gDNA from bacteria cultures. Has anybody tried this before? |
