Draft Genome Sequence of Flavobacterium sp. Strain F52, Isolated from the Rhizosphere of Bell Pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Maccabi)
October 2012
Authors:
Max Kolton, Stefan J. Green, Yael Meller Harel, Noa Sela, Yigal Elad, and Eddie Cytryna
Info:
A brief report of whole genome sequence of a novel Flavobacterium. The bacterial library was created with the EpiCentre Nextera kit. The resulting library was size-selected using broad range size selection, 400-800 bp, on the Pippin Prep before sequencing.

Towards quantitative metagenomics of wild viruses and other ultra-low concentration DNA samples: a rigorous assessment and optimization of the linker amplification method

Authors:
Melissa B. Duhaime, Li Deng, Bonnie T. Poulos, and Matthew B. Sullivan
Info:
A study of most reproducible and sample-efficient methods for sequencing meta-genomic samples with very low abundance samples (20 L ocean water ->1 pg to 1 ng DNA). Detailed side-by-side comparison of standard gel isolation, Pippin Prep, and AMPure bead size selections. The Pippin Prep demonstrated the superior efficiency and reproducibility. Materials and methods: Covaris shearing, end-repair and adapter addition, Pippin size-fractionation, enrichment amplification, sequencing (on 454GLX or Illumina Hi-Seq).

Info:
This high impact study completely revises knowledge on how c-myc gene is involved with gene regulation and cancer. Materials and Methods: Pippin Prep was used for preparation of ChIP-seq. Used multiplexed TruSeq v2 kits. IPDNA end-repaired and A tailed, ligated to adapters, enriched by 18 cycles PCR, then size selected on Pippin to obtain 200-400 bp fragments. Sequenced in single read mode 40b reads, Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Info:
Study performs high-depth NGS on V. cholerae strains from Haiti and DR, some of which had been previously typed by less-thorough PacBio and Illumina studies. Bacterial DNA was fragmented by nebularization, size selected tight at 200bp on Pippin Prep, then prepared library (end-repair, add adapters, enrich PCR for 15 cycles) and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq.

Mapping the Hallmarks of Lung Adenocarcinoma with Massively Parallel Sequencing
September 2012
Authors:
Marcin Imielinski et al.
Info:
A landmark study of lung cancer genomes with 183 tumor/normal genomes compared. Sequencing was carried out mainly by the Broad Illumina Platform (8 Pippins in production). The Pippin Prep is cited in whole-genome capture section of supplementary methods: DNA sheared, repaired, adaptors added, size selected by manual gels or by Pippin Prep to 340-510 bp. Libraries sequenced in paired end mode on Illumina HiSeq (2x 100 bp reads).
