ScriptSeq - 2nd peak @ 550bp

09-13-2013, 09:06 AM

Hi
I have been preparing libraries from approx 400ng total RNA, mRNA enrichment, using the ScriptSeqV2 kit.
At the end I amplify with 12 cycles and I get a profile with a 2nd peak around 550bp. I have not been able to get an explanation for this yet.

If somebody has an idea I would be grateful.

Thanks Ferdinand

P.S. Profile attached.

Did you quantify the input RNA for the Scriptseq library? The kit works best with 500 pg to 50 ng input.

No, but assuming that mRNA will never be more than 10% of the total RNA I should be in range.
Could it be an issue with the fragmentation?

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.
