Project: Thermal Transplant Molecular

Goal

Second trial of WGBS library prep using the Zymo Pico Methyl-seq library prep kit and this protocol. The modification I made today was reducing the number of PCR cycles in the second amplification from 12 cycles to 10.

Sample dilution and mix calculations can be found on this google sheet

Protocol

I am using a modified version of this protocol.

The other modification I made to this protocol was changing the input DNA from 1ng to 10ng. This worked in previous library preps performed by E. Strand and M. Schedl.

Samples and Indices

Sample	Coral.ID	Life Stage	i5 index #	i7 index #
18-9	P-4-B	ADULT	4	4
18-91	R-14-B	ADULT	5	5
L-728	P-6-A	LARVAE	6	6

Qubit Results

To test DNA quantity: Qubit

I used the DNA broad range assay.

Sample	DNA 1 (ng/ul)	DNA 2 (ng/ul)
Standard 1	182.09
Standard 2	19121.60
18-9 (#4)	17.1	16.8
18-91 (#5)	15.8	15.3
L-728 (#6)	13.4	13.2
