    Illumina BS-seq library prep query

    Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I've had a glance through the threads and can't see anything obvious.

    I've noted that Illumina's TruSeq kits are incompatible with BS-seq at present because the polymerase mix cannot tolerate uracil. My query is how much of an issue this is to sort out? Is it just a case of finding a different Taq for the library amplification (KAPA do one that seems suitable), or does this also affect the polymerases used to conduct end-repair? What about the polymerases in the SBS chemistry? We'd be wanting to prepare these for a run on a HiScanSQ.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Publications eg http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19829295 generally use PhuTurboCx for the library prep PCR - as this replaces the uracils with thymidines the enzyme used in SBS, though I assume there are some tricks with basecalling etc bisulfite-seq due to the base composition imbalance - an experienced service provider should be fine with this though.

      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

      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.
