    Ligating barcodes to amplicons

    Hi all,
    I am new to the forum and to next-gen in general. I am working on preparing a library of amplicons (20 different amplicons per individual sample - 96 to 180 samples) and I want to barcode the amplicons so that I can identify which individual they are from. Can barcodes/indices be directly ligated to the poly-A tail resulting from PCR or do I first need to blunt the end, apply a poly-A tail and then ligate? Thanks for your thoughts and patience!

    Yes I would alwasy make it blunt end and perform the A-tailing. You could also design fusion primers with the adapter and MID so after PCR you can start emPCR without ligating.

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2




      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      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
