Low-Input Transposase-Based Library Preparation

Klenow Extension Test

  • Ran gel from yesterday's experiment
  • Loaded as: Low-Mass Ladder, 100 pg, 10 ng, NTC

File:02182011 Low Input Klenow.jpg

  • Both libraries seemed to work well
  • Klenow appears able to replace the Nextera extension step

Bead Capture Experimental Plan

  • Repeat Klenow protocol from yesterday
  • Instead of going to PCR step, add TdT and TdT buffer with Biotin-labeled dATPs
  • Capture DNA with beads, wash, amplify
  • Check supernatant for DNA after Nextera PCR; run gel on supernatant

TdT Extension Test

  • TdT is not very efficient with double-stranded blunt-end DNA
  • Options:
    • Denature before labeling; KOH - HCl denaturing?
    • Increase incubation time suggested by protocols
    • Found one dsDNA labeling protocol, but states that it is inefficient

Robert Lab Meeting Presentation Notes

  • Look at base pair enrichment in: Lee W, Mutation spectrum revealed by paired genome sequences from a lung cancer patient, Nature, 2010
  • Compare to what we found with Sergio's study
