  • Bioanalyzer Peaks

    Using the illumina mRNA Seq kits I created 8 libraries last week; they are completed through pcr enrichment and ready to run on the GAs. For the most part the traces looked good however on all 8 samples there is an odd peak at around 75 bps. When I performed a gel cut out at ~300 bps I don't believe I introduced any other material so I am not sure where the extra peak is coming from. It seems to me that it could be a primer dimer from pcr enrichment or some sort of contamination in the gel of my bioanalyzer kit, either way I don't think those would affect the reads on a GA but I'd like to hear some input from you guys. The scans are attached bellow

    If you used a TruSeq kit to construct these, then my guess is that the ~75 "bps" peak is actually the PCR primers used for enrichment PCR. These primers, from the "PPC" (PCR primer cocktail) tube give a peak in that region of the electropherogram of both DNA high sensitivity chips and RNA (pico) chips. See:

    Any non-primary sequence heritable modification of genetic material. ChIP-SEQ, DNA methylation (Bisulfite-SEQ), chromatin modifications (methylation, acetylation, etc), non coding RNA.



    We don't run the DNA1000 chips in our lab, so have never looked at it on that type of chip.

      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...
