  • Library prep/low concentration

    Hi all,

    I'm a new member in this forum. I'm having trouble with preparation of my sample using Nextera XT kit. Most of my samples came out with too low concentration after PCR cleaningup. I checked my starting DNA conc (e.g for 2.25ng/ul, I used 0.44ul sample). I don't have problem with my cleanup process but the library yield is always coming out too little for sequencing. Please, I'd appreciate anyone with valuable suggestions.
    Thanks

    Two cause to consider:
    1- Accuracy of quantification and method used
    2- Library fragments were too short or bead ratio was low and fragments were removed during clean-up. Checking size distribution before clean-up should rule in or out this assumption.

    For better help please post Electropherogram of few libraries.

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      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...

      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...
