The Sixth Base: 5-hydroxymethylcytosine enriched in mammalian brains
Apr 16, 2009 - 9:06 PM - by ECO
This is undoubtedly a big finding that will cause all sorts of controversy and reevaluation of theories of epigenetics. Not to mention that it's probably of interest to the sequencing community that there is a sixth base to worry about!

Skirmantas Kriaucionis of the Heintz lab at the Rockefeller University has just published a paper in Science which describes the discovery... [Read More]

Sanger publishes amplification-free Illumina library prep paper
Mar 16, 2009 - 6:03 PM - by ECO
Pretty interesting paper from Sanger. Link here.

Looks like they basically add the flow cell primer portion to the standard Y-adapter to enrich directly on the flow cell, eliminating the PCR step and some bias.

GenomeWeb discusses it a bit ... [Read More]
