Hi everyone, glad to join the group. I made a mistake while preparing libraries for nanopore sequencing at the tail end just before loading to the flow cell for sequencing using the nanopore. Instead of adding sequencing buffer and library beads to the DNA, I instead added AMPure XP beads to the Library beads instead of the buffer. Is it still possible to recover the DNA library and proceed to do the nanopore sequencing. Kindly assist. Thank you

CAROLINE KOSGEI I think that depends on what volume or ratio you added the beads. If it's a reasonable amount, I think you could just do a bead cleanup and then check to make sure you still have DNA before proceeding. You could always add some buffer to make it the right ratio to save your libraries. My assumption is you will likely lose a bit of your libraries, but with a proper clean up it might not be much at all.
Here's the ratio guide to try and figure out the volume you need to do a proper cleanup: https://www.beckman.com/reagents/gen...pcr/bead-ratio
Best of luck and let me know if you have more questions on this.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
