Hi everyone, does anybody have any ideas for things I can try to get rid of this non-specific amplification? These products are for Illumina sequencing - I used barcoded V4 16S primers below:
F: AATGATACGGCGACCACCGAGATCTACACATGCCTAATATGGATAATTGTGTGYCAGCMGCCGCGGTAA
R: CAAGCAGAAGACGGCATACGAGATATGCCTAAAGTCAGCCAGCCGGACTACNVGGGTWTCTAAT
The PCR conditions I used were:
94 °C - 3 min
94 °C - 45 s
50 °C - 60 s
72 °C - 90 s
x35
72 °C
10 min
How problematic will this be for the sequencing? I'm thinking increase the annealing temp, but to what? Thank you so much for any help!
