  • TruSeq PCR Free question

    I am preparing samples using the TruSeq DNA PCR Free library kit with UDI adaptors. The PI has requested that we perform Pippin Prep post adaptor ligation to remove adaptor contamination and target a narrow size distribution. Question is... because the protocol does not include denaturation prior to the final sequencing step, the non-homologous Y-shaped adaptors results in an atypical migration pattern on agarose gel and the Bioanalyzer results are substantially larger (750bp) than would be predicted (~350bp insert +adaptor range). Should I heat denature the samples prior to putting on Pippin Prep? Thoughts?

    I don't have any advice but want to know if you tried this and if it worked out.

      The PI did not want to advert from the protocol without assurance from Illumina or Sage Science that this would work, so unfortunately, no we did not try this. Sending the samples out for sequencing today.

        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...
