Briefly, cDNA from single neurons prepared using SMART-Seq4 kit spent 90 minutes at 95°C due to human error. Is the cDNA to be discarded or can it still be used for library preparation with Nextera XT and sent to sequencing?
Thanks

Prolonged high heat exposure definitely introduces a lot of damages to DNA. I would expect it to be pretty fragmented by now. I also assume the Nextera transpose would require dsDNA - thus, you would need to add at least another PCR cycle. Perhaps you could use this S1 kit instead?: https://swiftbiosci.com/products/acc...-library-kits/
If the sample can be reproduced, best dump it.Last edited by luc; 07-13-2018, 05:55 PM.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
