Sample Information

Before preparing libraries, record information about your samples using an option available for your sequencing system:

Library Prep

Panel Description

The AmpliSeq for Illumina Childhood Cancer Panel provides a targeted resequencing solution for comprehensive evaluation of somatic variants associated with childhood and young adult cancers.

Component Number of Pools Concentration Number of Amplicons Average Amplicon Length (bp) Average Library Length (bp)
DNA 2 4X 3069 114 254
RNA 2 5X 1701 122 262
Library Prep and Index Kits

Completing the AmpliSeq for Illumina Childhood Cancer Panel protocol requires the panel and the following library prep, cDNA synthesis, and index kits. The AmpliSeq for Illumina Library PLUS Kit is available in 24-, 96-, and 384-reaction configurations.

Number of Samples

The AmpliSeq for Illumina Childhood Cancer Panel generates one DNA and one RNA library per sample. Samples can be DNA, RNA, or paired. Samples for this protocol are paired. A sample is a specimen of nucleic acid from one source, while a library is nucleic acids from a sample after preparation. A library is a unique DNA or RNA preparation that has the ends required for sequencing.

Preparing the appropriate number of samples requires the following number and combination of kits.

Number of Samples 24 Samples 96 Samples 384 Samples
Number of Libraries 48 Libraries
