    AMPureXP for ssDNA

    Hi Friends

    Has anyone used AMPureXP for ssDNA purification? I need to get rid of smaller cDNAs (<100 ntd).

    Yes it works for ssDNA. It also works for RNA. And DNA/RNA hybrids.

      What volume should I use to eliminate low molecular weight (<100 ntd) cDNA?

        What I do is I mix 1 volume of DNA or RNA with 1 volume of AMPure XP and 1 volume of 30% PEG800 1.25M NaCl. That gives me a cut off of about 100 bp. If you search the forum there is a thread with more information on this with some guy that posted a nice experiment. Be warned that there is batch to batch variation with the AMPure XP beads.

        There are some protocols on my blog at http://ethanomics.wordpress.com/ which perhaps describe what I do a little better.

            Hi Ethan,
            Can you comment on what the cutoff seems to be for dsDNA vs ssDNA? Does it appear to be a function of molecular weight, strand length, or something else?

              There's a recent post on James Hadfield's blog detailing how the beads work and how the concentration of PEG/NaCl effects the size selection.

              Someone recently asked me, “how do SPRI beads work” and I realized I was not completely sure so I went to find out. My lab uses kits. Lots...

                Hi all,

                Great to see that you guys are keeping this thread alive. As pointed out by Phillip, I am looking for the cut-off of the single stranded DNA molecules on AMPure beads. Comments are always welcome!!!

                Thanks TonyBrooks for that like.

                  Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
                  by SEQadmin2



                  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 Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
                  by SEQadmin2



                  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...
