    Second-strand RNA synthesis NEB

    For anyone who may use NEB's second strand cDNA enzyme mix in their RNA libraries -

    Have you ever left your reactions in the thermocycler at 4 degrees overnight after completing? I am concerned because there's a DNA ligase in there - will large concatamers of insert form if I leave it on park overnight instead of returning to the lab at 9:00 to purify?

    Thanks!

    The NEB Mastermix protocol makes a note to say that is fine.

      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
