Oct 18, 2024 · NGS now has smaller, more affordable instruments with shorter run times, while qPCR has increased in sensitivity, throughput, and cost-effectiveness. Ultimately, the choice between qPCR and NGS depends on the requirements of your research, and as both methods rapidly advance, they offer even more possibilities in genomics. Overview of Methods:

Feb 3, 2014 · PCR free kit alleviates any bias caused by PCR and also PCR duplicates, so results in more even coverage across the genome. Nano kit also claims has better coverage than old DNA kit. I have not seen any comparison of coverage or other metrics between Nano and PCR-free libraries either in publication or Illumina application notes.

Feb 17, 2015 · We have prepared a TruSeq DNA PCR-free library, and quantification with Qubit gives roughly 10 times higher concentrations than qPCR (range 4-50 times difference). Could this be because of poor adapter ligation efficiency, and is this normal for a PCR-free library? I was told by the local Illumina rep that such a big difference is not normal.

Jul 3, 2014 · Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all the way through to data analysis.

Aug 30, 2023 · I guess a good solution for this is a two-step PCR. The first is with custom locus-specific primers with the 5' addition of a partial Illumina sequence. The other set is a full Illumina adapter sequence that contains an index as well. That way you can use the same pair for all of your samples in the 1st PCR, and index your reaction in the 2nd.

Feb 1, 2011 · Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all …

Mar 10, 2023 · • PCR is not always required for hybridization capture experiments, so workflows without amplification won’t introduce PCR errors. This is a common concern when performing variant analysis. • Amplification bias and dropouts during amplicon sequencing can cause an uneven distribution of amplicons and impact coverage.

Jul 30, 2010 · Asymmetric ends are produced via the PCR primers used to amplify the library. The Rapid Library MID adapters will introduce the MID tag at both ends of the insert. 2)Does anybody know the difference (sequence) between the "general" and "rapid" MID adapters.

Mar 21, 2023 · “Due to the fact that they are PCR-based, their workflow is much faster (~4 h TAT) and simpler than hybridization capture.” Echave added that amplicon sequencing panels, “tend to be the most cost-efficient for sequencing as they require a lower amount of reads per sample for most applications, such as in the detection of germline ...

Jan 13, 2011 · The A-A and B-B fragments won't amplify in PCR for hopefully obvious reasons. Draw this out if it's not clear. Last I checked this is how ABI/LIFE/Roche do their adapters... just a mix of adapters and reliance on the amplification to pull out the correctly ligated events.
