| Optimising DNA purification in plants for next generation sequencing applications |
Abstract
DNA purification is a key step in producing high-quality nucleic acids suitable for next generation sequencing (NGS) and a range of other downstream molecular genotyping techniques. Although NGS approaches are now commonly used in plant breeding programmes, the vast number of diverse plant species and their highly varied characteristics still make it difficult to purify DNA at the quality and scale required. LGC, Biosearch Technologies works with challenging plant sample types alongside customers as well as within our service labs to develop off-the-shelf and custom sbeadex™ purification workflows in tandem with our high-throughput extraction platform.
Topics Covered
- Key challenges with common NGS applications in plant research
- Impact of low- and high-quality DNA on NGS success
- Process we use to develop customised DNA purification protocols to match your specific plant species and NGS application requirements
- Recommended workflows for plant breeding, optimal agrigenomic strategies according to your breeding application, and key areas in your workstream that could benefit from high-throughput scale-up
