  • ATACseq total amplification cycle number

    I am optimizing my ATACseq and have questions about the normal range of total PCR cycle number.

    What is the total number of PCR cycles people get for their ATACseq runs? Mine has been usually the initial 5 cycles + 8-15 additional cycles (depending on the run). The high total amp cycle feels shaky since the original ATACseq paper cited 10-12 total cycles (i.e. 5 initial cycle + 5-7 additional ones). I recently did a 25K to 100K cell curve, but PCR cycle # was not proportional to cell number. I followed the protocol exact, but this has been a persisting issue since the beginning.

    Do people have any insight or experience with this? Thank you so much!

    Hey, I have a similar issue. Mine have been hitting the 1/3 max fluorescence threshold at around 8-10 additional cycles but I have been hesitant to do many more above the recommended. Did you ever figure this out/has it been an issue after sequencing?
    Thanks!

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      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...

      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...
