  • High-throughput oligo synthesis Agilent vs. Nimblegen

    Hey guys, I've been following George Church and Shendure's work and had a general question regarding optimal cost-feasibility for synthesizing a lot of oligos.

    The next round of experiments we plan will require on the order of 1 million primers so we are considering array based methods as cost or normal synthesis will be prohibitive. Shendure uses agilent arrays that he strips the oligos off of but I have heard from nimblegen representatives that using strong NaOH washes on their custom arrays also strips their probes off to a "certain degree." can anyone confirm successful design and recovery of sufficient oligo [] from a nimblegen array for PCR? This is not a traditional hyb-elute strategy but it would be a non-traditional use of a nimblegen array. They are much cheaper than agilent options so we'd like to go this route if possible. Please let me know if you get a chance. Thanks!

    why NimbleGen option is much cheaper than Agilent option?

    Agilent is actually offering custom library of oligos cleaved from the array slide. Does that fit your purpose?

      Nimblegen option could be cheaper, because their arrays have much higher density than Agilent arrays. I am saying this only from my familiarity with their respective array technologies.

        Remember you often get what you pay for (ie. its cheaper for a reason). In regards to eluting off the arrays, we often strip and reuse agilent CGH arrays multiple times with little effect on signal intensity so I doubt we are cleaving off the probe.

          Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
          by seqadmin


          The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin




          The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
