Library Validation The Agilent Bioanalyzer(or Caliper GX) is used to check the quality and size distribution of your library. This aids in the calculations used for determining proper loading concentration for cluster generation.
Illumina DNA TruSeqNano Protocol following the 550bp Range protocol
Pooled Library of Different Sizes These can be a little more difficult to get an accurate concentration for cluster generation because of the varying sizes. Smaller fragments tend to cluster better than larger fragments.
Over Amplification Peaks larger than 2x your library size. Image from Ray SequerraIllumina presentation
Sample of SPRI bead carryover • To help avoid this: • Use a strong magnet • Allow the supernatant to clear completely • Pipette carefully during the elution step to avoid disturbing the bead pellet. Image from Ray SequerraIllumina presentation
Samples of Primer Dimer Presence of Peak <125bp
How Can These Impact Sequencing This can be a problem with sequencing because they can form clusters . If the % of primer dimers is high then you will eat up your sequence with primer dimer reads resulting in less coverage. Image from Ray SequerraIllumina presentation
What Causes Primer Dimers • Error when doing your gel cut. • Improper ratio of Ampure beads used. • Inefficiency of the ligation reaction. • too little input DNA • too much input DNA • Dimers less <100bp cannot be sequenced but can bind to the flowcell
What can you do to get the best library possible? • Use the recommended input amounts suggested by the protocol. • Obtain an accurate concentration: Fluoremetric reading with Qubit, Picogreen or Ribogreen is suggested. • Assess the sample quality • DNA: 260/280 ratio of 1.8 and gel image • RNA: RIN score ≥8 for Bioanalyzer. • Follow the protocol and best practice procedures as suggested.
