Thanks. I have chosen this ratio because I am planning to do 16s rRNA amplicon sequencing so I have 96 samples and I will do nested PCR. So what do you think about this ?
Many thanks -
I don't think it should be much of a problem, unless I'm misunderstanding something. If the lower ratio is a concern, I would recommend taking one (or a few) of your PCR products and trying both ratios on them, running them out on a gel.Originally posted by hssalgh2 View Post
So on the gel you would run:
1) PCR Product w/o cleanup
2) PCR Product w/ cleanup at 1.8x
3) PCR Product w/ cleanup at 1.5x
...and see if there's a difference.
It's a bit of extra work, but it's a small price to pay for peace of mind. This approach may also be better than testing on a ladder, since you'll be working with the PCR products directly (rather than with a ladder which may or may not have an inhibitory effect on the SPRI beads).

I am thinking about PCR cycling for the first round is 18 cycle and in the second round is25cycle so is it ok to increase the cycle in the first round to 35 cycle what do you suggest?
Many thanksComment

This is probably better left for someone else to answer. I don't have any real experience with this protocol. I've gone toe-to-toe with the beads more than a few times, but nested PCR is another story.Originally posted by hssalgh2 View Post

It depends on your experiment and input. It is not clear if you are preparing 16S region specific library for sequencing on Illumina systems or whole 16S for long read sequencing.Originally posted by hssalgh2 View PostComment

Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM
