  • UltraClean PCR purification kits

    We are having continuing issues with background bacterial sequence contamination in our MiSeq sequencing data that we think we have tracked to the min-elute columns we use to purify and concentrate our dsDNA products prior to library prep. We wanted to try a Mo Bio UltraClean PCR clean-up product - Qiagen now has Mo Bio product but only supplies the PCR clean-up in a 96-well format and we need individual columns.
    Does anyone know of an alternative source or substitution for these "clean" purification columns?
    Thanks!

    PCR cleanup should be comparatively "easy" and all the usual manufacturers should have good options.
    Qiagen QIAquick PCR or Zymo DNA clean would be some we have used.

      How about using bead-based cleanup and just skipping the columns entirely? I have heard of people having trouble with contamination of their PCR-grade water when they have samples with very low levels of template DNA.

        Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
        by seqadmin


        The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

        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...
