  • MinION adapter

    Hi everybody,

    I am new to this forum and I hope to start testing the MinION technology very soon with DNA/amplicons. But I have question about sequencing-adapters :
    - what kind of sequence/domain is needed on these adapters ?
    - can we used our specific sequencing primers ?

    Thanks

    What do you mean with sequencing-adapter?

    If you want to sequence amplicons, you just amplify them with your own PCR primers, clean up the PCR reactions afterwards to get rid of everything except the DNA fragments and use that as input for nanopore sequencing.

    There are several kits you can choose from to prepare your amplicons into nanopore libraries, but the best approach would be to use the kit which just ligates nanopore adapters to your amplicons. There are also other kits which add these adapters to your DNA fragment via transposase activitiy, but if your amplicons are already 10kb or shorter it's waste to fragment your amplicons even further with this kit.

      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...
