    Is this library double peak due to "DNA Bubble"?

    Hi all,

    I made 48 libraries, most of which meet our expectations, (see 4C) with peak FU at ~ 290bp (library is 170bp insert +121 bp adaptor) with a few that have a mysterious second peak (2A, 4A) in the range of 500-700bp. Is this DNA bubble or something else?

    As mentioned in a previous thread, "Truseq RNA library has 2 peak on bioanalyzer", which according to Illumina does not adversely affect sequencing. Can the same be said for my samples?

    If so, is the DNA bubble an innocuous contaminant to downstream sequencing? If not, what can be done to eliminate the second higher molecular weight peak before I proceed to run my samples on Hi-seq?

    Thanks all,

    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...
