  • RLMID pooled samples

    Hi,

    I fund some surprizing result with pooled libraries. The standarad 454 RLMID kit has 12 barcodes. I used RLMIDs 1-6 to prepare 6 libraries, then did Nimblegen sequence enrichment and then sequenced the enriched sample in two separate runs on GS Jr. The resulting two .sff files were combined in one .sff file and split by barcodes (sfffile -o -s). To much of my surprize I got 12 separate .sff files (*.RL1.*.sff to *.RL12.*.sff)!!! While numbers of reads with unexpected RL7 to RL12 were on average about 10% of reads with expected RL1 to RL6, where these RL7-RL12 reads have come from? Anyone experienced this?

    Also I am paranoid about crosscontamination and try to minimize its possibility, I cannot exclude this completely. For this reason I ask those of you who has used pooled barcoded libraries take a few previous .sff files and reprocess them with sfffile -s [SomeDataFile.sff] to see if you get RMID reads that are not supposed to be there. Having statistics from different labs would indicate if this is something common or prather peculiar.

    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...
