  • RADseq

    Anyone knows well about Restriction-Associated-DNA sequencing? I read a lot of papers about this. It seems that this will produce thousands of markers in very short time. I wonder someone here is very familiar with RADseq or have ever done this before. I may need to do some work on RADseq. If someone can talk about how to design this, that would be great! Thanks,

    I have been researching RAD sequencing myself, take a look at this website

    I have found it very useful.

      You can join the RAD mailing group. The info is on the above wiki.

      We use RAD in our lab and it's amazing. Good luck!

          I am having problem with RadSeq library prep. There is no library being amplified. Even though I titrated P1 primer amount down to 1/100X from the suggested amount only multimers of P1 adapter primers are being amplified. Why P1 is not being ligated to DNA although it seems they concatenate with each other well?

            Are you kidding? If you want some chance of getting a useful answer, you need to provide more detail about both your library construction methodology and the assay you used to determine that construction was failing in some way.

              I followed the protocol from "SNP Discovery and Genotyping for Evolutionary
              Genetics Using RAD Sequencing" by Paul D. Etter, Susan Bassham, Paul A. Hohenlohe, Eric Johnson, and William A. Cresko. I working with pine and poplar genomic DNA and digesting with SbfI. All Oligo primers were designed and synthesized following the sequence and modification shown at https://www.wiki.ed.ac.uk/display/RADSequencing/Home.

              After ligation of P1 (titrated down to 1/100X suggested amount pooled DNA is sheared using Covaris with 400 bp peak. Desired bands of 300-600bp size get purified from agarose gel, end-repaired using the NEB End-repair kit and dA tailed using NEB klenow exo with rATP. After P2 is ligation library get amplified using Phusion HF. Amplified library run on the agarose gel and there are only multiple bands of distinct sizes (supposedly multimers of P1 adapter). We purified bands around 400 bp and sequenced it on Mi-Seq and all we got was adapter sequence. So I do not know why it is not working. I know that my poplar DNA is good quality and they worked fine for SureSelect library construction.

                What are the sequences of your two P1 adapter oligos?

                  The first 12 primers from the "P1 adapters" list at https://www.wiki.ed.ac.uk/display/RADSequencing/Home.

                    What about the other strand of the P1 adapter?

                        Did you do QC at any other step. Like an Agilent high sensitivity chip prior to PCR?

                        Generally when adapter dimers dominate a library it is because the effective ends-insert ratio is too high. So if you lost most of the sheared DNA at some step, or the end repair failed, that might explain what is going on.

                          There is no QC step until I run check gel after PCR. I do take concentration on NanoDrop after each purification step (Qiagen) to make sure I have DNA. I had DNA clearly after shearing and before End-repair.

                          I didn't think that End-repair might have failed since it was a kit purchased from NEB but I will definitely check on this step.

                            Nanodrop is typically a terrible way to quantitate genomic DNA. Fairly normal for DNA preps to read 10x their actual concentration because of RNA and degraded RNA.

                            Also easy to lose your DNA during an extraction from an agarose gel.

                              We are aware of these problems and I am quite confident that agarose gel extraction gives me at least 50-75% yield. The same DNA is working for other library construction so quantification is not a big issue. But I am testing your suggestion and using a different End-repair kit and will do the dA tailing, P2 ligation, and PCR again. Besides gel extraction and quantification problem if there is anything I might be missing? I do appreciate your comments. I am new to NGS and library construction and still learning.

                                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...
