^ I have not but this was something that was just suggested to me and I might give it a try. For generating the matrix file, how many tiles do you think is adequate? And do you do all cycles or can I shorten that as well?

I usually pick 10-20 tiles and then run for 25 cycles. I try to avoid picking tiles from the flowcell edges as they're more prone to have problems. It runs pretty fast and gives you a Bustard.xml that you can check it to see if the pass filter/etc looks reasonable before doing a full pipeline.Comment

Does adding the PhiX spike-in to each sample have the same effect as adding an ERCC control? Ambion offers this ERCC control to help with accurately quantify transcript levels, but I'm not sure if I need to invest in this addition or not... Any thoughts?

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 -
Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
