Procedure & Checklist – Preparing SMRTbell Libraries using PacBio Barcoded Universal Primers for Multiplex SMRT Sequencing
Sequel II System, Sequel System
Template Preparation
Description +
The procedure describes a workflow for quickly constructing SMRTbell libraries for multiplexing PCR products using PacBio Barcoded Universal Primers and SMRTbell Express Template Prep Kit 2.0. This workflow uses a 2-step PCR for generating up to 96-barcoded amplicons with the first PCR step requiring user-supplied internal primers that contain a combination of universal and target-specific sequences. In the second PCR step, barcodes are incorporated by using universal sequences tailed with 16-bp PacBio barcode sequences. Once the PCR products are barcoded, they can be pooled into a single tube for SMRTbell library construction with the SMRTbell Express Template Prep Kit 2.0.
Procedure & Checklist – Preparing SMRTbell Libraries using PacBio Barcoded Overhang Adapters for Multiplexing Amplicons
Sequel II System, Sequel System
Template Preparation
Description +
The procedure describes a workflow for quickly constructing SMRTbell libraries from PCR products using PacBio Barcoded Overhang Adapters and SMRTbell Express Template Prep Kit 2.0. In this workflow, a barcode is introduced to each amplicon through ligation with a hairpin adapter containing a 16-bp barcode. Once barcoded, amplicons can be pooled and purified for sequencing.
