  • SOLiD library on Ion Torrent

    Hello,
    does anyone of you already has experience with putting a SOLiD (small RNA) library on the Ion Torrent?
    Which kit or protocol did you use or do you recommend?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi GenomicIBK,

    You can't actually run a SOLiD library on the PGM since the adaptor sequences on the beads are different for each platform. You'll have to make a new Ion library from your RNA.

    You can use the Ambion Ion Total RNA-Seq Kit to make your Ion small RNA library. (The protocol is very similar to Ambion's SOLiD Total RNA-Seq kit.) This kit will allow you to make a library that is compatible with the Ion PGM bead prep.

      It seems I was a bit unclear with my explanation, sorry. My question was, if I already have a SOLiD library, how can I sequence it on Ion Torrent (e.g. as quality control for a multiplexed SOLiD library).
      A colleague gave me the tip to simply ligate the primers for Ion Torrent onto my SOLiD library, what I will do now.
      I´ll let you know when I have a result.

        Seems like if you were planning to do this a lot you would want to create Ion Torrent - SOLiD "conversion primers". That way you could make your normal SOLiD library, amplify it with your conversion primers and you would have a Ion Torrent library.

          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...
