  • Typical Quantity of Primer Sequences In Final Library

    Hello,

    I'm wondering what amount of contamination is typical of a multiplexed library ? We've just done our first ever multiplexing run through a service provider on the HiSeq for a number of ChIP-seq experiments against histone mark H2A.Z. Here is FASTQC output for one sample :

    Basic Statistics
    Total Sequences 35111957
    Sequence length 51

    Overrepresented sequences
    No code has to be inserted here.Also, are there any protocol tricks so that tags aren't being wasted just sequencing primers ?

    I realise there's also the problem of overamplification here (3.5 million unique mapping reads with Bowtie). I hear that happens often when indexes are used ?

    Dario,
    It sounds like you're doing ChIP Seq... are you using the TruSeq kit? If so, I can tell you what we do. I use 10 to no more than 50 ng of input as measured by pico green, and a 1:50 dilution of the adapters. Usually 15-18 cycles of PCR are required. I also do the size selection AFTER the PCR, which removes any dimer.

      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...
