Ion Library Equalizer kit

03-14-2015, 06:14 PM

Hi everybody,
I´m new at NGS and I´m planning to use one of the Generaead panels from QIAGEN. For doing that QIAGEN suggests to carry out the library prep and quantification after target enrichment using their kits Generad Library Prep and Quant array.
However, I've seen that Life Technologies offers Ion Library Equalizer™ Kit which gives the chance to normalize the library without the need to quantify.
Is it convenient? Is it better to normalize and avoid quantification?
I would really appreciate if you can give me your opinions about the pros and cons of quantifying and normalizing (w/o quantification).
Thanks!

Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival

by SEQadmin2

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by GATTACAT

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...
