Is anyone else seeing poor ligation efficiencies for Truseq PCR free preps? Our BA and quBit values are high and qPCR values are very low.
<10% ligation efficiency.
Can anyone help?

Are you seeing the correct size on the BA trace?
I had pretty low yield on the last pcr free library I made, a little over 1nM. Loaded ~6pM and still got around 10Gb (V3, 2x275). -
What is the normal efficiency?Comment

I've seen the same thing. Some folks are doubting the adapters and adding double (5ul of 15uM index per reaction). From what i have tested it looks like ligation efficiency is much better with low input (100-200ng). higher input seems to drastically impact the results even when swapping out ligation mixes from other manufacturers, which performed better but did not result in satisfactory ligation efficiencies.
Has anyone had issues with the atailing mix? wondering if the dATPs are limiting or the Klenow is crap.
Best,

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
