We are preparing RNA-Seq libraries for Illumina HiSeq 3000. However, a few of the libraries are low in concentration (<5 nM, tested on Agilent Bioanalyzer High Sensitivity DNA chip) and we can not go back for RNA isolation. Can we take aliquot of 2 ul from the library and re-amplify for 5 cycles (and bead purify) to ensure proper yield? And can we use this data for following analysis (compare gene expression levels)?

Hi Jin1,
I assume you will be pooling multiple libraries? ; thus, the molarity of the final pool will have to meet the requirements of your sequencing service -- not the individual libraries.
If you also have higher concentrated libraries it is very likely that the final concentration will be no problem.
I would very much avoid amplifying a subset of the libraries in additional PCR reactions and cleanups - this likely could introduce technical variation. I would rather amplify all if absolutely needed.

The complexity of cancer is clearly demonstrated in the diverse ecosystem of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The TME is made up of numerous cell types and its development begins with the changes that happen during oncogenesis. “Genomic mutations, copy number changes, epigenetic alterations, and alternative gene expression occur to varying degrees within the affected tumor cells,” explained Andrea O’Hara, Ph.D., Strategic Technical Specialist at Azenta. “As...-
