Hi Friends
Since a long time now I have been fiddling around some Illumina Truseq primers for a custom sequencing protocol. I am using RP1 and RPI1 (and other indexing primer for my amplification from Truseq small RNA sequencing protocol). As per my plan, I am fitting the right adapters on each of the ends of the cDNA, Please refer the attached picture. I have already cross checked using adapter specific primers(exact match) however, whenever I use the Illumina TruSeq primers (RP1 and RPI1, without PS bonds) I do not see any amplification. Moreover, whenever I use RP1 and RPI1 with PS bonds I see a strong band at ~115-120 ntds. I am really tired of repeating PCRs seeing the same trend again and again. What could be the problem?
I have already tried DMSO in the reaction, lowering the temperature etc. I have also tried all the combinations (Small adapter specific primer with RP1 or RPI1) Importantly, we are planning to index the reactions.
Your suggestions and experience will be really helpful.
