    SE vs. PE for bacterial RNAseq

    Hello,
    We plan an RNAseq analysis to study gene expression in a bacteria that we have an in house reference genome assembly (~7.8Mbp) and gene annotation (7000 genes) that we are very confident about (both).
    in a previous RNAseq analysis we used 100bp SE reads with ~3M reads per sample (after QC) and got nice coverage and statistics for our gene expression study.

    This time we will use a different service provider (due to some bureaucracy and budget issues) and they offered either ~7-8M reads of 80bp SE, or a similar number of reads but PE with 40bp length and around 350bp insert (for the same price).

    Can anyone suggest me which offer to take ?
    Thank you !

    I would prefer 80bp SE to 40bp PE. I don't think it would have a significant effect on your results, but single-ended reads tend to be easier to work with.

      Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
      by SEQadmin2



      CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

      Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

      The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
