I Follow the question

Michael J White

my experience of this is that the gels always look very smeared, often the data is good though. Best thing to do is sequence the DNA and look at the data quality. Are you doing WGS on the sample? what extraction method/ sequencing platform are you using?

Ayoob Obaid Alfalahi

Dear Kimia...

I think your problem is highly related with the extraction procedure!!

Kind Regards

Kimia Najafi

I am using this for array. I use single cell whole genome amplification kit.

Dear Ayoob,

What do you recommend?

Best Regards
