    I've jsut stated using the Covaris for chromatin fragmentation and so far I'm very impressed with the results. The reproducibility between samples is impressive.

    What I am wondering is what are the advantages/disavantages of using the Covaris vs. chemical methods for shearing RNA for RNA-seq library preparation?

      never got a answer for this, so what is better Covaris or the chemical/heat fragmentation? ?

        Physical shearing is better since it is concentration independent, isothermal, easily controllable as compared to chemical methods, and you don't have to deal with the stringent cleanup methods required after chemical/heat fragmentation.

        Thank you.

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
