Do you guys have any idea which NGS platform is the most suitable for doing the whole genome rearrangement project ?

Any paired-end or long read platform will be adequate.
Solexa, SOLiD and 454 will all work for this type of project, and you should consider how much you're planning to sequence and what resources are available to you to decide which to use.Mendelian Disorder: A blogshare of random useful information for general public consumption. [Blog]

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
