    Size selection after Covaris shearing...necessary?

    With a show of hands, how many people still do size selection post ligation after shearing genomic DNA by Covaris ? I've heard that many skip size selection now, but many others still size select.

    For exome capture we don't do size selection. We purify with SPRI beads and that adequately removes adapter/primer-dimer.

      Depends how tight of a size distribution you want. We size select post-Covaris to get a narrow distribution allowing assembly of overlapping paired-end reads. Size selection can also help you get longer read lengths since all PCR based sequencing approaches (454, Illumina) do tend to enrich for smaller fragments.

        The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

        16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
        by SEQadmin2





        NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...
