Hi @egotistdown, I am wondering whether you figured out the reason. I encountered the same issue. Thanks. -
10x 5' GEX - overrepresentation of RT Primer in results
Hi all -
First time post so apologies if this is the wrong spot..!
I'm having issues with my first 10x 5' gene expression run and am looking for help troubleshooting what went wrong.
The sequencing resulted in a low percentage of reads mapping to the transcriptome (~30%). Further investigation revealed an over-expression of RT Primer in Read 2. Read 1 appeared fine.
We loaded 8000 cells and detected 6000-9000 cells (in 4 samples). Knee-plots looked good, with not much background or degraded RNA. Bioanalyzer traces taken after cDNA amplification and after library completion both looked ok.
Samples were PBMCs treated for 18 hours with exosomes.

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, detection...Yesterday, 06:46 AM -
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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
