1000 ng total RNA as input is OK but as you can see the size of larger peak is proportional to the PCR cycle number indicating over cycling. I would think that 7 cycles would have been enough.
Using Good quality RNA results in high PCR yields and I would suggest using BA DNA1000 kit or diluting the libraries to below 1 ng/ul for running on HS Chip.
Keeping PCR cycles the same for the samples that are going to be compared for differential expression is also a good practice to avoid PCR induced biases. This is less important if gene expression analysis is not the aim.

I wonder what was the difference between samples 4 and 5 with others and also if samples have been run on BA without dilution.
We use 1000 ng as starting material, is this too high, or is it a too much input for the bioanalyzer you think of?

The good news is that they usually sequence fine.
TruSeq kits ask for 15 cycles of amplification, which is usually crazy high. Later cycles begin to kinetically favor products re-annealing to other over primers annealing/new strand polymerization. Since library molecules are a complex mixture only the adapters anneal leaving a floppy single stranded section in the middle of the heteroduplex amplicons that causes them to migrate slowly during electrophoresis. Or so the lore goes.

Double peak on Truseq RNA-seq library
Hi All,
I have prepared some Truseq RNA-seq libraries and i have 2 peaks.
I have been reading some previous threads that it could be bead carry-over, but I do not really see any beads in my library and I think some of the libraries look a bit different. Do you have any suggestions to what the problem could be?
I used another protocol than usual to remove rRNA but I do not think it should be the problem (Epicentre - Ribo Zero : http://www.illumina.com/products/rib...-kit-faqs.html)Attached FilesTags: None

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...-

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...-
