Does anyone do this with the TruSeq kits? Illumina advertised this feature very strongly in their presentations in my area, as a huge time saving feature of the TruSeq kits as compared to the older sample prep kits... yet the product manual doesn't say anything about it. I'm a bit worried about uneven amplification of the libraries during a pooled PCR. Any comments?

Would that also cause jumping errors and waste of sequencing reads? -
Hi
I'd like to refresh this thread. Has anyone had success with TruSeq library prep, if you pool your adapter ligated samples prior to the PCR enrichment step?

Pooling prior to PCR amplification is not recommended. It precludes the option of adjusting the concentrations of individual libraries to obtain equal read depth.Comment

Done once. DO NOT attempt it. Some libraries just dissapeared.Comment

We didn't do that. In theory, it may cause unbalanced library pool. Some libraries could have very low sequencing reads.Comment

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 -
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...
