gDNA for DNAseq Library Construction

• We recommend that gDNA be submitted at a concentration of 20 ng/µL in 60 µL total - if gDNA is quantified by Nanodrop, please submit at a concentration of 40 ng/µL in 60 µL total
  • 5 µL will be used for sample QC, 55 µL will be used for library prep  ​
• gDNA should be RNase treated prior to submission and the quality verified by electrophoresis.  
• We recommend that you quantify gDNA with Qubit
• DNA should be submitted in clearly labeled 1.7 mL tubes, please limit sample names to 8 characters.
• Sample names must include "legal" characters please use alpha numeric characters and "-" or "_" - dashes or underscores
  • Please do not include " . ) ( / \ } { ] [ ? = + > < : ; " ' * ^ | & " - periods, parentheses, back or forward slashes, brackets, question mark, equals sign, addition sign, chevrons, colon, semicolon, quote sign, apostrophe, asterisk, carrot, bar or ampersand.

Total RNA for RNAseq Library Construction

• We recommend that total RNA be submitted at a concentration of 20 ng/µL in 60 µL total - if RNA is quantified by Nanodrop, please submit at a concentration of 40 ng/µL in 60 µL total
  • ​​10 µL will be used for sample QC, 50 µL will be used for library prep 
• We recommend that total RNA be Trizol extracted and treated with DNase prior to submission
• We recommend that you quantify RNA with Qubit
• We strongly recommend RNA to be stored on dry ice or at -80ºC until submission
• RNA should be submitted in clearly labeled 1.7 mL tubes, please limit sample names to 8 characters.
• Sample names must use alphanumeric characters and "-" or "_" - dashes or underscores
  • Please do not include " . ) ( / \ } { ] [ ? = + > < : ; " ' * ^ | & " - periods, parentheses, back or forward slashes, brackets, question mark, equal sign, addition sign, chevrons, colon, semicolon, quote sign, apostrophe, asterisk, carrot, bar or ampersand.

Investigator Prepared Libraries

• Libraries must be prepared according to standard commercially available library kits (eg. Illumina TruSeq, Nextera, NEBNext, etc).
• Please contact the GSC if you plan to submit custom libraries.
• Libraries are submitted as 30 µL aliquots at a concentration of ~10 nM.
  • To dilute samples to 10 nM, use nM conversion calculator, this will give an estimated nM concentration
  • Use Qubit quantification to get ng/µL concentration and TapeStation/Bioanalyzer gel analysis for average bp size estimation
• Accurate quantification of libraries is essential for flow cell clustering. We strongly recommend that libraries are quantified by qPCR. The GSC can perform qPCR of a sample for a fee.
• Please submit these samples in a clearly labeled 1.7 mL tube; please limit the sample names to 8 characters.
• Sample names must use alphanumeric characters and "-" or "_" - dashes or underscores
  • Please do not include " . ) ( / \ } { ] [ ? = + > < : ; " ' * ^ | & " - periods, parentheses, back or forward slashes, brackets, question mark, equal sign, addition sign, chevrons, colon, semicolon, quote sign, apostrophe, asterisk, carrot, bar or ampersand.
