Product FAQ
Should I treat my RNA sample with DNAse for FlashTag labeling?
DNAse treatment is optional. It is not necessary for RNA samples that have trace amounts of genomic DNA contamination, but it may be beneficial for RNA samples that are highly contaminated with genomic DNA, to more accurately quantitate the RNA. After treating your RNA with DNAse, it is essential that the DNase be inactivated completely before proceeding with the FlashTag procedure, to prevent degradation of the FlashTag reagent (Vial 5). A variety of RNA purification columns/kits may be used to inactivate the DNase. Inactivation of the DNase by high temperature may not completely inactivate the enzyme.

Product FAQ
How are the probes for SNPs and Copy Number tiled on the SNP 6.0 array?
1. Each SNP is represented by a pair of 2 Perfect Match (PM) probe sequences, one for Allele A and one for Allele B, which are placed in adjacent positions on the array.
2. Each pair of SNP probes is replicated at least 3 times on the array. The replicates are distributed across the array such that each replicate is located in a different quadrant.
3. Copy-number probes are Perfect Match (PM) non-polymorphic sequences located in the stripes between quadrants.

Product FAQ
What copy number calls do I get from TuScan?
Log2 and B-allele frequency.
Linear copy number calls when you mouse over aberrations. In some cases, linear calls are calls in aberrant cell fraction only. In the software, when the percentage of aberrant cells has a percentage value, the linear call for aberrations in that sample is the call in the aberrant cells only. Values will be integers. When the percentage of aberrant cells is N/A, the linear call is an average call across the aberrant and non-aberrant cells, and values will be non-integers. You can estimate the copy number in aberrant cells if you have an independent tumor burden estimate.
