1 Troubleshooting DNA Sequences: Guidelines and Suggestions

2 Sequencing Instruments: AB 3100-Avant, 3130XL both Capillary Based Advantages –Higher throughput –Can reinject samples –Higher separation efficiency –Better resolution –No Plates! Disadvantages –Sensitive to charged ions –Sensitive to microparticulates or bubbles

3 SESSION OUTLINE: Guidelines: Generic Set up and Profiles Impact of Template and primer ratio??? Suggestions for different sample types and Sequence Context: Chemistry, Profile, Additives –Sample types: PCR, Plasmid, BAC, Cosmid, RNAi construct, Bisulfite treated gDNA, gDNA –Sequence Context: GC Rich, Homopolymeric Runs, Repetitive Sequence Instrument Anomolies: Sample Purification prior to Sequencing Troubleshooting Resources

40 Drop-Out Peaks:

41 “Waterfall”: Results in Drop-out Peaks: Inflection point

42 Reinjection Helps: Drop out Peaks Gone

43 Premature Loss of Resolution:

44 Premature Loss of Resolution: Simply reinject sample

45 Loss of Resolution: In the middle Reinjection successful!

46 Timing of Reinjections: C fluorophore degrading Reinjections on Monday from a Friday run may need to be Set-up again

47 Chemistry: What’s best for sample or sequence type

48 PCR Product: AB BDT V1.1 vs. V3.1 BDT v1.1 - BigDye® Terminator v1.1 Cycle Sequencing Kits are designed for specialty applications that require optimal basecalling adjacent to the primer and for sequencing short PCR product templates………..AB website description BDT v3.1- BigDye Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit's robust, highly flexible chemistry is ideal for de novo, resequencing, and finishing with PCR product, Plasmid, Fosmid, and BAC templates…….AB website descritption
