    WGA techniques

    I am new in NGS. I am wondering if anybody knows the difference between 2 WGA methods:

    MALBAC of Sunney Xie

    vs

    Rubicon's PicoPlex

    I thought they are similar, but I could be wrong.

      They are all good when you have "few" cells, like 10 or more, but all suffer when you have a "single" cell. Mostly you will experience high allelic dropout and high noise in Copy number profiles. Currently, the method which is reported by multiple comparative articles to be the best performer for "single" cell WGA is Ampli1 http://www.siliconbiosystems.com/ampli1-wga-kit

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
