    Purification Kits

    Hi guys,

    I am doing illmumina amplicon sequencing and metagenomics sequencing from environmental samples. We just purified the a plate. I measured the DNA concentration before and after purification. I found there is only 2% re-coverage. Total DNA concentration less than 1ng/ul after purification. This is horrible.

    What we used is a gel purification kit and so inefficient (slow).

    what DNA purification kits do you normally use for the illumina sequencing? for Nextera kits? We just start to do Illumina sequencing. Back to old days, we did 454 sequencing and it never happened like this.

    Any efficient and better kits recommend?

    Hi!

    I would definetly give SPRI methods a try. The Nextera protocol says to use Zymo columns, but we have tried magnetic beads and it works just fine, and the recovery is really high (90+%).

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      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

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
