  • home made EZ-Tn5-Nextera adapter complex?

    Hi

    Is it possible to mix equal molar of EZ-Tn5 transposase and the Nextera adapter to create a homebrew transposon?

    It seems that the transposon in the Nextera kit contain 2 different adapter arms. But the conventional transposase and donor DNA complex should be 1 transposase + 1 DNA. So how did Epicentre prepare their transposon?

  • #2
    The transposon showed by Epicentre is mainly for mutagenesis. For NGS applications you load Ez-Tn5 as done for any other (Picelli et al, 2014 for example) using the P5/MErev and P7/MErev. You can do it separately, namely, Tn5 + Px/MErev, or together Tn5 + equimolar mixture of annealed P5/MErev and P7/MErev. In the Transpisition buffer the presence of Mg will induce dimerisation of Tn5-Px/MErevs and it becomes active.

      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...
