    First gen forum?

    So I know that "the next generation sequencing community" excludes first gen, "Sanger" sequencing discussions.

    But I've just replied to first gen question in the solid forum, and I am wondering why first gen stuff is proscribed here. If it had its own forum, it seems like it would be very useful.

    Are there other good venues for this type of content that I'm unaware of? The old bionet.autosequencing newsgroup is lamentably effectively dead due to the diminishing pool of NNTP servers, etc. The ABRF discussion forum is still there, but I find it painful to use. All methods are jumbled together into a single pile. Also its email list back-end is extremely irritating. I set my ABRF account not to email me anything. But every post I do invariably results in a bunch of "out of office" messages being routed to me.

    So ECO, why not here?

    I can't think of a reason why not, especially since we'll be needing a third-gen section soon. Will try to get it up this weekend.

      Hi ECO,
      Any chance of getting that Sanger Seq forum added?

      I think of the old radioactive gel methodology (before automated sequencers) as "zero gen". So "first gen" is still "next" to "zero gen", eh?

        Ugh, I totally dropped that ball didn't I. Look for it in a moment. =]

          "Capillary" ?

          "Sanger" ?

          "Automated" ?

          "Mono-template" ?

          "Non-parallel" ?

            Done: http://seqanswers.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=42

            Naming open for modification...time to fill it up with posts now.

            In the future if you don't see something like this happen in a day or two, feel free to drop me an email at admin@. It's easy for me to miss posts like these given how many roll through in a given day.

              "Sanger" is probably most used terminology now. (Also, would keep the Maxam-Gilbert riff-raff out of the forum...)

                First gen forum

                Ive seen this on other forums, make a forum called the reviews section. That way they can review the board or handle or snow sled or whatever.

                  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...

                  by GATTACAT
                  Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
