  • Gentra Puregene V.S. Genomic-tip (Qiagen)

    Hi,

    our lab is going to resequence the whole genome of a Drosophila melanogaster mutant strain using HiSeq. I found that Qiagen's Gentra Puregene and Genomic-tip are both used in literature for the genomic DNA preparation. Dose anyone have the experiences about which one gives better quality of the important starting materials for the downstream library preparation, sequencing... etc? Apart from the two kits, any protocols/kits that give good quality of Drosophila gDNA for next generation sequencing are all very appreciated.

    Best regards,
    Sue

    Hello,

    I had the same question. I have been using Genomic-Tips (100) on the assumption that they gave excellent results (quality & yield), but I'm questioning the yields stated in the Qiagen manual. When I measure my yields by Qubit4 HS DNA assay (diluting sample), I find that I am achieving about 1/10th the yield stated in the GT manual(s).

    Has anyone else experienced this same issue? Is it possible that the yields in the manual were reported using UV nanodrop, and thus might be inflated relative to a fluor-based assay?

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EDIT: Most likely I've not resuspended the gDNA properly...

      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...
