Briefly, cDNA from single neurons prepared using SMART-Seq4 kit spent 90 minutes at 95°C due to human error. Is the cDNA to be discarded or can it still be used for library preparation with Nextera XT and sent to sequencing?
Thanks

Prolonged high heat exposure definitely introduces a lot of damages to DNA. I would expect it to be pretty fragmented by now. I also assume the Nextera transpose would require dsDNA - thus, you would need to add at least another PCR cycle. Perhaps you could use this S1 kit instead?: https://swiftbiosci.com/products/acc...-library-kits/
If the sample can be reproduced, best dump it.Last edited by luc; 07-13-2018, 05:55 PM.

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 on Modified Bases...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
