Troubleshooting DNA sequencing data



Troubleshooting DNA sequencing data

A detailed DNA sequencing data interpretation and troubleshooting guide (Greenwood molecular biology facility, University of Hawaii)

If your DNA sequencing data have following problems, you should follow the troubleshooting guide:

- No recognizable sequence
- Noisy data throughout sequence, with low signal strength
- Noisy data throughout sequences, with good signal strength
- Noise up to or after a specific point in the sequence
- Poor mobility correction
- Early signal loss
- Excess dye peaks at the beginning of the sequence in dye terminator chemistries
- Broad, red peak between base 200 and 350
- Pull-up peaks/bleedthrough
- Stop peaks in dye primer chemistry
- Compressions
- Poor data following a long homopolymer region
