We've found DNA concentrations measured at different steps in the process can work. The key thing though is that these DNA concentrations must be taken before the "normalization" of the libraries to try to get equal numbers of reads in each sample.
Hi Ben,
This is probably a dumb question... Does it matter which stage before sequencing we use DNA concentrations for 'decontam'? For example, should I use the DNA concentration of the extract itself? Or the normalized DNA concentration from the step immediately prior to sequencing (post-pcr and addition of index tags, etc)?
Thanks, Devin
