Hi, guys. I'm trying to construct a PE500 library from 50ng genomic DNA by using the Nextera transposase. However, the fragment size always concentrate on 200bp even I have chosen the HMW buffer. How can I control the MW of the fragments? Or is there anyone have similar experiences?

Hi Kitty,
Not sure why you started another thread rather than continuing your old one...
From your bioanalzyer plot:
It looks like most of your library is ending up in annealed concatamers. How about denaturing it (2 minutes 95 oC, followed immediately by chilling on ice) and then running on an pico RNA bioanalyzer chip?
But if that is not possible, you could try using way less cycles of amplification but then use a DNA High Sensitivity Agilient Chip. That way you can see your library products without needing to do so many PCR cycles that your primers run low and you get high levels of amplicon daisy chaining (or bird nesting, or whatever you want to call it.)

nextera for targeted exon capture?

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...
