  • 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?

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
