New Take on RADseq Enables High-Throughput Variant Discovery

16 Sept 2013

This case study demonstrates how a new, massively parallel genotyping technique from a research team at Harvard relies on automated size selection and next-generation sequencing to boost accuracy and lower costs.

Pippin Prep DNA Size Selection System

Sage Science

The Pippin Prep is a preparative electrophoresis platform for collection of size-selected DNA samples. The system automates DNA size selection using disposable, pre-cast agarose cassettes to extract fractions according to user-defined software input. Samples are electro-eluted from agarose and collected in buffer. The platform is used for the construction of next-gen sequencing libraries. The system collects fragments (depending on gel type) between 90 bp- 8kb. A higher quality of sample can be extracted, more reproducibly and with no cross-contamination, when compared to manual gel purification methods.
