  • Rapid Library Expiration

    I have an undiluted rapid library that was prepared 4 months ago. Does anyone have experience with sequencing old(er) libraries?

    Thanks.

    I don't have direct experience with older libraries but if the library was free from nucleases there is no reason why it shouldn't work. I would run it on the bioanalyser and qubit beforehand to verify that it is intact.

      We have sequenced libraries almost 1 yr old without a problem. I was having a discussion about library stability with support this past few days. There is no official recommendation about how long an undiluted library can be stored for. The 10e07 molec/ul dilution is fine to up 2 months and shouldn´t be frozen-thawed more than once. However I believe there is variability from library to library, and also everything depends on how well it has been stored.
      If makes you feel safer, do like barkasn said and run an HS chip beforehand.

        Thanks for the input/suggestions. I'll check it out on the bioanalyzer and maybe re-measure the concentration.

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin




          The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

          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...
