  • Contamination in my sample?

    Hi all!

    I just ran a 100bp PE human exome seq run in my lab and was looking at the fastqc results of my run. I am getting this weird pattern in the gc content distribution and was wondering is this normal for an exome run or do i have some sort of contamination? I've run an exome seq before in my lab but saw a distribution which was similar to the theoretical distribution with a shorter peak (yet, still normally distributed). The 2 peaks i'm seeing in the new run is really messing with my head as i have 24 samples all showing the same pattern!

    Thanks in advance!

            I've just got exactly the same with my data. What kit did you use for capture?

            Cheers

              TruSeq exome capture.... FYI we saw it in rna seq data also!

                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...
