  • Duplex PCR not working

    Hi all,
    I have been working on two genes which I want to sequence later on. Initially I tried amplifying them using Duplex PCR protocol. The primers I utilised initially were not linked with illumina adapter linked. At that time both were amplifying properly. Just for clarification the primers I utilise are universal primers
    Later on, I ordered a new set of primers which are linked with illumina adapters. Since then, every time I set up a new reaction only one of them gets amplified, there in no sign of other gene getting amplified. I tried changing the primer ratio, increasing the primer concentration, changing the annealing temperature by +-5C, changing the dNTP concentration, increasing the dNTP concentration. Nothing worked.
    Is there any possible reason on why this might happen and any suggestions on how to overcome this are welcome😁

    Do you see primer dimers? Is it always the same PCR that fails?

      Improved Targeted Sequencing: A Comprehensive Guide to Amplicon Sequencing
      by seqadmin



      Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...

      Targeted Sequencing: Choosing Between Hybridization Capture and Amplicon Sequencing
      by seqadmin




      Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...
