    Thermal cycler with variable temperature lid?

    Does this machine exist:, for example, a machine that can change the lid temperature during the course of the reactions? Something tells me that having the lid set to 75C when my reverse transcription reaction is occurring at 45C is not a good idea. In addition, I've been getting lots of adapter dimers and/or technical sequences/artifacts in library prep which I see on the bioanalyzer during my library constructions. Could not having a heat-changing lid be the reason? I am talking about cross all different sample types/library prep kits/depletions.

    Hello seqtechno1,

    I'm not aware of such a cycler. But having the lid temperature on 75°C seems to me very low. For all kind of reaction we use 105°C.

    But I'm unsure whether this can lead to your problem, as the higher lid temperature should just prevent vaporescence of your sample.

      How Immunogenomics Decodes Immunity’s Genetic Blueprint
      by SEQadmin2




      The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.

      This convergence of genetics, immunology, and computation...

      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
