  • Wang, 'Low Cost Library Construction...': Low Concentration

    Hi All

    I'm using the updated Wang et al Library construction protocol [Universal adapters and Indexed Primers + Universal primers for Enrichment]. The only major modifications I've made are adjustments for a slightly lower totRNA starting material [5ng; protocol written for 15ng]. After optimizing for adapter dimers and 400bp 'bubbles' and such, my final problem to solve is significantly low outoput.

    I'm getting ~8-12 ng/µL, which is ≤1/5 what I was getting with the TruSeq RNA kit.

    I've been submitting my samples [5-6 uniquely indexed libraries multiplexed] at 5 ng/µL in 40 µL. At the above concentrations I won't be able to make that work.

    Any suggestions for increasing output or alternative submission mixtures? Do I need to worry about the issues with overamplification with single stranded template [Wang's is a strand specific protocol]? Can I just crank up the cycles [I'm doing 16 now] or will that skew the population of the library?

    Thanks!

    The supplementary info in the article below provides a protocol for working with sub-nanomolar libraries.

        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...
