Starting Material Fragmented DNA Size Distribution Short Insert Contaminants AMPure® Bead Purification Inaccurate Quantification Causes • Insert size distribution • Loading bias Impact on Performance • Shorter subread lengths • Preferential loading of shorter templates Recommendations • Target larger insert shear sizes to maximize subread length • Size selection • Proper AMPure® sizing • Proper cleanup of shorter fragments • Follow recommendations from Covaris or HydroShear® System • When pooling amplicons, aim for similar sizes
2 kb 10-12 kb • Only ~30 to 40% of DNA sheared is in the desired size range • Larger fragments do not have any advantage in loading, however, they affect library quantitation • Small size fraction within a shear has a higher loading advantage leading to reduced subread length • Shorter insert sizes contain more individual molecules in a given quantity compared to larger inserts • Accurate sizing of fragments larger than 12 kb is difficult to achieve on the BioAnalyzer® instrument • Recommend using pulse-field gel electrophoresis for more accurate sizing
Starting Material Fragmented DNA Size Distribution Short Insert Contaminants AMPure® Bead Purification Inaccurate Quantification Causes • Sub-optimal removal of – Adapter Dimers – Short Inserts Impact on Performance • Higher sequencing yields • Shorter subread lengths Recommendations • Use MagBeads for loading to remove short inserts and adapter dimers • Thorough AMPure® PB bead purification (3x ethanol washes filling the tube to the rim) • Ensure correct ratio of adapters to inserts • If adapter dimer continues to be a problem, A/Tailing ligation is an option
Starting Material Fragmented DNA Size Distribution Short Insert Contaminants AMPure® Bead Purification Inaccurate Quantification Causes • Variability in methods used • Contaminants that inhibit the polymerase • Random/systematic errors caused by use of degraded reagents or analytical instrumentation hardware issue Impact on Performance • Inaccurate binding reaction conditions resulting in over/under loading • Impact on read length, accuracy and yield Recommendations • Accurate quantitation methods • Use both Qubit® and Nanodrop® Systems • Avoidance/removal of contaminants, RNA, short inserts, etc.
concentration of AMPure® PB beads used in purification – Will retain undesired short inserts – Follow cut-off recommendations listed in the procedures • Beads not thoroughly washed during purification – Will result in retention of short and adapter dimers – Wash beads thoroughly by adding 70% ethanol to the rim of the tube • Over-drying of beads – Can result in low yield due to difficulties with bead-resuspension during sample elution – Do not let beads to dry more than 60 seconds (30-60 seconds recommended in the procedure)
the source of gDNA? • Understanding the source of gDNA is critical in upfront QC steps (plants, bacterial, tissues, blood, etc.) What methods were used in DNA isolation? • Carry-over contaminants can impact sequencing performance (CTAB, phenol/chloroform, others) What methods were used in DNA quantification? • Similar readings from Qubit® and Nanodrop® instruments provide higher confidence in the sample • Use of intercalating dyes is more accurate (Qubit® instrument) Have you run gels to assess quality of the gDNA? • Running gels provides a clearer picture of the quality of the sample (degraded vs. RNA contamination)
