    binomial peak pattern after RNA library prep

    Hi there,

    We are sequencing RNA samples with the following pipeline:

    1. globin clear treatment
    2. making cDNA on a Caliper robot
    3. prepare cDNA library prep for sequencing on Caliper robot

    After step 3 we always check the products on a labchipGX. For most samples we see a peak around 300 bp. But for some samples (depending on the plate) we also see an additon peak around 1000-1500 bp. To my knowledge there could be three reasons (fragmentation incomplete, AMpure beads carryover, bubble products). I tried to denature and very slowly renature the products, but still see the binomial pattern. Also AMpure carryover is exlcuded as I use a magnet for dilution. Fragmentation can also be exluded as all samples undergo the same fragmentation procedure.

    Did anyone else see binominal peak patterns after the library prep. And how did you solve it?

    Many thanks!

    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.
