Hello. Has anyone had a problem where, after a cDNA library preparation that includes multiple displacement amplification, runs on a GS Junior can not generate reads with greater length than around 100bp? Results from the Bioanalyzer clearly show the library to be in good shape with average read length around the 600 bp mark.The dots filter is trimming at very high percentages.Subsequent runs on libraries with no whole genome amplification using the same sequencer are very good. Might there be something in the chemistry of the MDA step that leads to incompatability with a GS Junior? Thanks.

Hi Daniel,
The MDA amplification leads to branched DNA formation (there's mention of it here http://www.plosone.org/article/info:...l.pone.0003042 and in the subsequent reference trail) and S1 nuclease treatment is recommended to resolve this. That might be an issue in your case? -
Thanks Palecomic - I'll look into thisComment

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
