library with different sizes
I wish to use MinION to sequence 11 PCR products. Most of them are ~ 2 or 3 kb. Another two are 4kb and 9kb respectively. Is it possible to add the adapter and run them together, although they have different sizes? Thank you very much.

In theory ONT 2D libraries should not be as sensitive to size variations as illumina/454 amplicon sequences used to be, so it should be possible to have a variety of amplicon sizes.
But make sure you use an excess (something like 2-4X) of MOLAR concentration of the larger fragments compared to the small ones, to compensate for lower ligation and loading efficiencies.
And I would still rather avoid mixing anything under 2kb with larger fragments.
The exact size correction coefficients/functions would have to be worked out empirically. -
You may have to adjust the molar input ratio with the adapter sequences, the protocol contains a note about having smaller fragments.
But mixing shouldn't be a problem.Comment

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 -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
