  • lots of short read between 16s rDNA Region V1-V3 ?

    I did 15 runs of 16s rDNA Amplicon in passed few days,
    and 2.5 run within 16s rDNA region V1-V3,which the amplicon about 500bp long,
    but there lots of short reads about 250-300bp,60-100bp,(sequence from A-end)
    I selected ten short reads ,and blast to NCBI show that all match the 16s rDNA except the 3‘-end,about 10-15 bases,which seems the sequence of the primer B .

    I wonder that does the primer B will generate non-specific amplification between 16s rDNA region v1-v3 ?

    GS Junior-multiple read lengths after size selection

    Hi, I also have problems with multiple read lengths.

    I'm testing out new 16S pyro primers. It's a normal unilateral 454 run and the products were size selected on a 2% gel prior to emPCR. The size is 450bp with forward and reverse primers being 55bp in size. The control beads showed a perfect run with the correct size however my run has two additional read length peaks at 250 and 350bp. I have no idea why but I'm suspecting the primers.

    Has anyone run into this same problem?

    Please help*

      Hi,
      What kind of primers did you use to amplify V1-V3? Tha same as HMP?

        Hi elizondas

        I don't know about stare but I used primers amplifying the V3-V5 region due to the large overestimation V1-3 gives you in species diversity. SILVA published a paper regarding the best current primers for various applications and these I modified for pyrosequencing.

        My first thought was that it's the reverse primer acting up during emPCR, but I have yet to check if its the case. Someone at one of the other forums said this could happen if your reverse primer tag has a high homology to your target region. But offcourse you can't change your tag sequences-which complicates things....

          Thanks. I would like to sequence 16s from more than 400 sample of nasopharyngeal samples by pyrosequencing, and I have tought about V1-V3 primers based on some papers.

          We want to use 27F-534R primers to sequencing V1-V3 region. I had thought to add them adaptor A and B, and then a Broad Institute bardcode in reverse primers.
          Do you have have any experience in this? direct experience in issues as sample preparation, quality control etc

            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...
