  • RNA-Seq: Method for improved Illumina sequencing library preparation using NuGEN Ovat

    Syndicated from PubMed RSS Feeds

    Method for improved Illumina sequencing library preparation using NuGEN Ovation RNA-Seq System.

    Biotechniques. 2011 Mar;50(3):177-80

    Authors: Head SR, Komori HK, Hart GT, Shima****a J, Schaffer L, Salomon DR, Ordoukhanian PT

    In this study, we tested the NuGEN Ovation RNA-Seq System for library preparation followed by next-generation sequencing on an Illumina GAIIx. The cDNA product of the NuGEN kit may have significant amounts of ssDNA with hairpin structures that are generated during the amplification process. These structures interfere with efficient downstream end repair, A-tailing, and adapter ligation, all standard steps in post-amplification sequencing library construction. We were able to increase the efficiency of sequencing library yields 4- to 6-fold or greater by treatment of NuGENamplified cDNA product with the single-strand endonuclease S1. These results suggest that this treatment effectively cleaves hairpin structures generated during amplification that are resistant to the standard enzyme cocktails used for the end-repair step.

    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...
