    SmartSeq cDNA validation with TapeStation

    Hi All,

    I have RNA extractions from fungal fruiting body tissue, produced by cryo-sectioning-->LCM-->PicoPure RNA extraction kit.
    I have started to use SmartSeq V4 to produce cDNA. After the amplification of the cDNA we checked the cDNA profile by TapeStation.

    But the profile doesn’t look like as SmartSeq manual suggests: we have a peak around 400bp instead of 2500bp.
    Anybody has experienced cDNA profile different from the profile in SmartSeq manual?
    The company who will do sequencing said that this profile is similar what they usually see on cDNA produced by SmartSeqV4.
    What is your opinion?

    Thank you all!!

    It looks fine. I would clean it with 0.6x beads before shearing and library prep for RNA-Seq.

      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...

      From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
      by SEQadmin2


      Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

      The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
