  • PCR enrichment of libraries in 12 cycles or less?

    Has anyone been able to successfully amplify their genomic libraries in 12 cycles or less using the Illumina or NEB reagents for library prep and show successful sequencing?

    Have you seen this paper? With modifications to the ligated adapters you can avoid PCR completely.

    Amplification artifacts introduced during library preparation for the Illumina Genome Analyzer increase the likelihood that an appreciable proportion of these sequences will be duplicates and cause an uneven distribution of read coverage across the targeted sequencing regions. As a consequence, thes …

      I do not have access to that article. would you be able to upload here or PM it to me?

        You absolutely do not have a PM with the PDF attached...because that would be wrong.

              I am wondering why they 5´-phosphorylate both adapters in that paper.
              The adapter they call A_adapter_b needs it for ligation to the DNA fragment, but the other one ?

              Am I missing something for which it might be required ?

              seqgirl, I used 10 cycles with 5 ug starting material for paired-end genomic DNA sequencing - no problem.
              However, I want to give the PCR-free a try.

              Thank you in advance if someone has a hint !

                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...
