Has anyone used Nextera library prep for illumina? I'm looking to test but any info on biases or other data would be welcome.

I would use the HMW buffer, never the LMW buffer for Illumina prep. The peak at 200 represents 135 bp of the Nextera adapters and 65 bp of insert. I have had to use the HMW buffer and do size selection. Be careful if you do Size Selection post PCR, you do not have overages to re-amplify and the standard PE PCR Primers will not work.

Starting with the recommended amount of DNA for Nextera (50 ng), you should get 300-500 ng of "tagmented" DNA after 9 cycles of PCR. We have some customers who don't bother with size selection, and get good sequencing results--they find that a tight size distribution is not necessary for Illumina sequencing in their application. However, it's your choice.
Also, in response to the original point, Nextera will definitely save 2-4 hours compared to Covaris + adaptor ligation.

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-
