I have an undiluted rapid library that was prepared 4 months ago. Does anyone have experience with sequencing old(er) libraries?
Thanks.
Barry
Thanks.

I don't have direct experience with older libraries but if the library was free from nucleases there is no reason why it shouldn't work. I would run it on the bioanalyser and qubit beforehand to verify that it is intact. -
We have sequenced libraries almost 1 yr old without a problem. I was having a discussion about library stability with support this past few days. There is no official recommendation about how long an undiluted library can be stored for. The 10e07 molec/ul dilution is fine to up 2 months and shouldn´t be frozen-thawed more than once. However I believe there is variability from library to library, and also everything depends on how well it has been stored.
If makes you feel safer, do like barkasn said and run an HS chip beforehand.Last edited by MissDNA; 05-20-2012, 05:56 AM.Comment

Thanks for the input/suggestions. I'll check it out on the bioanalyzer and maybe re-measure the concentration.

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
