    Adapter sequence

    Hi,

    Can someone please tell me what is an "Adapter sequence" and what is its purpose?

    Thanks

    These are any short piece of DNA of known sequence that one adds to the ends of their unknown DNA of interest, usually for the purpose of eventually placing a sequencing primer there.

      Hi,

      I have illumina multiplex paired end data of 75bp. The insert size 300-400bp including primer and adapter sequences. I want to check whether my data contains adapter sequence or not for that i used SSAAHA2 and the result file shows matched sequences at different positions like 66th bp to 40th bp, 75th bp to 60th bp. But mostly from the right side of the read.

      I want to know can we adapter sequences on both sides of illumina reads.

      What if we have 15 bases of adapter sequence out of 20 bases on the right side like from 50th to 65th bp? and then we have other sequence as well that makes up readlength 75bp. Will that be adapter sequence or not?

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

        Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

        There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...
