Hello. Has anyone tried Illumina's DSN normalization protocol. We're planning to have a go using a couple of FFPE samples. Looking through the methods it seems that tight temperature control is pretty important, but I would appreciate any input from people who know any of the little tricks that never make it into the official methods.

Use flip cap strip tubes this decreases the time getting them open and thus reducing the chance you lose your Cot curve.
Keep everything close and use two pipettors at a time (one in each hand), one to add the buffer or enzyme and the other to mix. This will reduce the time you have the lid off. You really want to move fast but do not want to introduce bubbles.
I think the protocol says to mix with a pipettor set at 40 ul but I do 35 ul since the 40 always introduces bubbles for me and if you remove the tube from the thermal cycler its game over.

Hi,
all the posts here on DSN are rather old and likewise publication using the method are few and date a couple of years back.
Thus, I was wondering if people are still using DSN normalization for RNAseq libraries or is it just not worth the trouble?
Specifically I am interested in DSN treatment coupled with poly A selection in human samples in order to be better able to identify lowly expressed transcripts.
Any suggestions or comments appreciated,
thanks,
blanco

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...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
