Newbie...Help needed!!

01-23-2012, 03:22 AM

I am a newbie to sequencing but mainly working on the DNA prep side of things.
Can anyone recommend a good thread to inform me on steps needed for DNA library preparation (intended for illuminia platform) and the important factors to consider for sequencing?
Also, a glossary for terms such as read length, paired end reads, A-overhang, enrichment etc etc
I keeping coming across these terms but now idea what they mean and why they are important.
Any good recommendation for basic reading material on DNA library prep and sequencing would be much appreciated.

I would start by signing up for webinars through Illumina. They cover many of the topics below. You just need to create an account and enter your serial number of your machine to get started. If you don't have access to a machine, and Illumina FAS or sales rep should be able to point you towards this info as a potential customer.

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...

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...
