I know in some RNA-Seq protocols magnesium and heat are used to shear the RNA. I'm curious if magnesium and heat will also shear DNA?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Without a 2' -OH, the DNA won't shear.
Magnesium is in high concentrations in every PCR buffer also. -
If you are looking for metal ion based DNA shearing see the following:

Anyone tried this? ^^
Seems gloriously too good to be true.Comment

Thanks for the replies! Any recommendations on chemical or enzymatic shearing for DNA and RNA (TNA) at the same time? We do mechanical shearing now for TNA, but hoping to find a faster/easier approach.Comment

It is possible to use combination of DNA fragmenting enzyme such as NEB fragmentase with RNase III. The issue would be buffer and incubation temperature and time requirement which can be overcome by treating with one enzyme followed by dilution and adding other enzyme and buffer without a need for clean up in between and optimising enzyme quantity.Comment

DNA Fragmentation at Taq Premix
recently I have tried it
Add 400ng Lambda DNA(48.5K) into 1X Taq Premix with 2mM MgCl2,
it shows clearly fragmentation more than 1min at 95C if more 4min median of fragment is around several Kilo; 95C 16min most of fragment is small than 1K.Comment

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...Today, 07:48 AM -
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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
