  • unwanted nucleotides at the ends of Lib-A libraries

    Hi everybody.
    The problem we faced with is the failed emPCR - less 2% output. Increasing of matrix input didn’t improve situation.

    Our libraries (for A-lib kit) were prepared by 2-step PCR. A-key, B-key and MIDs were attached to the target amplicons during second step.

    We sequenced our libraries by Sanger and found that there are additional unexpected nucleotides in the ends: AG on the B-key and A on the A-key.

    We wonder whether these unwanted nucleotides appeared due defective primers we got or inappropriate polymerase we used (Tersus) or may be they are just sequencing artefacts (Applied Biosystems BigDye® Terminator v3.1).

    And the main question is - How such nucleotides could affect emPCR?
    (another version is a bad emPCR kit)

    It would be nice to hear your considerations.
    Or maybe someone had similar difficulties.

    Quality Control Essentials for Next-Generation Sequencing Workflows
    by seqadmin




    Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all the way through to data analysis. This article outlines the key QC steps in an NGS workflow, along with the commonly used tools and techniques.
