  • Distinguish real duplicates from those generated by PCR

    Hi All.

    Sorry to bother you. Is there a way to distinguish duplicates caused by high sequencing depth from the PCR artefacts?

    One more question. Is it necessary to remove the duplicates in the transcription factor ChIP-Seq? In our TF ChIP-Seqs, It is often to see a high duplication level. It is not the case in the controls. I guess the duplicate is caused by high sequencing depth not by the PCR artefacts.

    Wish your help! Thanks very much!


    Best, Mei

    Only if you added a unique barcode to each individual molecule during library prep before PCR. There are a couple papers out there that have done this. Here's one example:

    I would not remove any potential duplicates from ChIP-Seq data. You are sampling from a smaller portion of the genome, so duplicates are expected.

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      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...
