Hi. I have some samples from another lab that were prepped with the Qiagen kit. All I have is a limited amount of DNA, & the DNA is just okay quality. I did a clean up and ran them on the Miseq. Some of the sequencing quality is poor. Any recommendations for improving the data quality on the analysis side? Or even something to do if I redo the library prep? Thanks! The samples I prepped ran fine, so it isn’t a run issue.

Could you let us know what specific problems you see with the data (and the DNA samples?)? -
What library prep tools are at your disposal? I'd suggest Nextera XT for low-concentration samples. You could also reamplify your libraries prior to normalization. If your samples are low on concentration, try vacuum concentration.Comment

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...Yesterday, 07:48 AM -
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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
