Introduction
Mate pair library sequencing enables the generation of long-insert
paired-end libraries. The Nextera Mate Pair Sample Preparation kit
offers two methods, gel-free and gel-plus, to support a variety of
applications and input requirements. The robust, low-input,
gel-free protocol yields high-diversity libraries that enable deeper
library sequencing. The size-selection process of the gel-plus protocol
generates fragments with a tight size distribution for structural variation
detection. Libraries prepared with the gel-plus protocol also provide
sequence information for larger repeat regions, empowering de novo
genome assembly.

Dual Protocol Flexibility
The flexibility of Nextera Mate Pair sample preparation stems from the
availability of two different size-selection options (Table 1). The gelfree protocol, which requires only 1 μg DNA, provides highly diverse
mate pair libraries with a broad range of fragment sizes (Figure 2A).
This protocol is ideal for routine de novo assembly of simple bacterial
genomes, or for the robust generation of mate pair data on samples
with limited DNA. The gel-free protocol offers a faster, simplified option
with a lower DNA input requirement to streamline mate pair studies.

Circularized molecules are then re-fragmented yielding smaller fragments.
Sub-fragments containing the original junction are enriched via the biotin tag (B)
in the junction adapter.
Simplified Mate Pair Workflow
The Nextera Mate Pair protocol provides a simple mate pair workflow
(Figure 1) for the preparation of sequencing-ready libraries in less than
two days. Master-mixed TruSeq DNA Sample Preparation reagents
reduce the number of assay steps, thereby reducing hands-on time
to as little as three hours. The Nextera “tagmentation” reaction utilizes
a specially engineered transposome, the Mate Pair Tagment Enzyme,
to simultaneously fragment and tag the DNA sample. This simplified
method only biotinylates DNA molecules at the sites of fragmentation,
avoiding troublesome internal biotinylation.

After End Repair and A-Tailing, TruSeq DNA adapters (grey and purple) are
then added, enabling amplification and sequencing.
The Nextera Mate Pair Sample Preparation kit has a simple workflow
that enables library preparation in less than two days and supports a
range of fragment sizes from 2–15 Kb.
The gel-plus protocol, which requires 4 μg DNA and standard agarose
gels or SAGE Pippin Prep gels1, offers a more stringent size selection
process. The gel-plus protocol produces libraries with tighter size
distributions to facilitate structural variation detection (Figures 2B and
3). Greater control over fragment sizes is ideal for more challenging
mate pair applications, such as de novo assembly of complex
genomes and structural variation detection.

simplifying informatics analysis. The presence of searchable junction
sequences allows for accurate fragment identification and enables
sequencing of longer read lengths, as mate pair junctions can be
precisely identified and trimmed accordingly.
Mate Pair Preparation Solution
In addition to Nextera Mate Pair reagents, the comprehensive Nextera
kit contains TruSeq DNA sample preparation reagents and indices.
Nextera Mate Pair tagmentation and circularization are followed
by TruSeq on-bead reactions (Figure 1), simplifying the purification
workflow and reducing sample loss. This integrated solution
streamlines the sample preparation workflow, maximizing sequencing
efficiency with more samples per lane and enabling rapid multiplexed
sequencing of small genomes. The Nextera Mate Pair kit is compatible
with TruSeq DNA Sample Preparation adapter indexing, supporting 12
indices per kit for a scalable experimental approach. With all necessary
reagents included in one convenient, cost-effective bundle, the
Nextera Mate Pair Sample Preparation kit is the all-in-one solution for
faster and simpler mate pair preparation.

in number of unique fragments. Actual diversities achieved with the
Nextera Mate Pair kit may vary and are dependent on several factors,
including DNA input quantity, DNA quality, and precise execution of
the protocol.
