    Buccal DNA

    We're pondering some experimental designs, some of which include buccal DNA extraction and sequencing.

    I suppose it works, seeing as I've found a few posters and such on the internet, but would like to get the learn-ed community's thoughts on the matter.

    Kit preferences? Noted library biases? General comments or warnings?

    best practices

    My suggestion would be to closely follow/adapt best practices in sample handling/preparation/analysis performed by certified commercial labs in paternity and forensic testing for many years. Another source of established procedures for next gen sequencing would be the military. This technology might not show up in journal articles.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

      From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
      by SEQadmin2


      Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


      The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
