    More than half of Smart-seq2 data is TSO,ISPCR concatemers!

    Hi all,
    Last month, I made fixed tissue (5< RIN < 7) RNA-seq library using SMART-seq2 method. (I thought single cell library prep method is suitable for fixed sample because of low quantity of RNA and even broken RNA could be captured by poly-A primer in RT )

    However, I found that multiple TSO, ISPCR sequences were included in library reads(Mostly less than 300bp reads). Even though I checked library quality by DNA high sensitivity chip, but almost 50% of reads has mostly TSO oligomers.

    Is there anyone who faced same problems? How can I solve this? Any suggestion would be welcomed

    What type of size selection did you use?
    I guess, these results are likely due to the lack of size-selection and low inputs? since you were working low integrity/quality RNA samples from fixed tissues?

    We have no experience with such samples, though.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
