DIFFICULT TEMPLATE SEQUENCING
Avoid repeats and save time and money by utilizing GENEWIZ's alternative protocol for difficult templates. Difficult templates can be challenging to sequence due to secondary structures, large size, high GC content, and other inherent factors. While the standard DNA sequencing may produce satisfactory results for borderline samples, GENEWIZ's proprietary alternative protocols perform best when sequencing difficult templates.
Alternative Protocols for Difficult Templates
Template examples that may benefit from the alternative protocols include:
- GC-rich: A template of > 60% GC content or high GC-content concentrated in a small region
- Hairpin Structures: A sequence containing two inverted repeats, separated by at least three nucleotides
- Repeats: Certain di- or tri-nucleotide repeats
- Motifs causing band compressions: Mainly 5'-YGN1-2AR motifs, (Y: pyrimidine; R: purine; N: any base)
- Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BAC): Any construct larger than 50 kb.
Template Examples
Case 1: Small Hairpin RNA (shRNA) Template Sequencing
The small hairpin RNA templates used in RNAi studies frequently present challenges in sequencing such as early termination or ambiguity, caused by the double-stranded or hairpin structures. Our proprietary RNAi Protocol produces superior results for our customers, saving time and cost. For a comparison, see the chromatogram below:
Case 2: Repeat / GC rich Template Sequencing
Repeat/GC-rich templates have special secondary structures and melting temperatures. DNA containing high GC content and hairpin structures are relatively more difficult to denature and very challenging to sequence.
Our proprietary Hairpin and GC-rich protocols produce superior results, with strong signals and uniform peak heights at the GC region.
BAC-end Sequencing for Constructs Greater than 50 kb
Large constructs such as Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BACs), cosmids, fosmids, and BACmids, pose a challenge to traditional Sanger sequencing protocols due to the size and interference of the non-target DNA in the template. GENEWIZ's proprietary BAC protocol to overcome the difficulty of sequencing directly from these large constructs can help deliver greater success and longer read lengths for large constructs compared to the standard protocol.
