  • DIY illumina adapters

    Hi All:
    Trying to determine whether I can get away with making my own adapters for the HiSEQ 2000.
    I've got a library of small DNA (125nt) fragments, and would like to sample the diversity of this library pre- and post-selections.

    I get it that there is that funky fork with a Phosphorothioate Bond...and that the Tm of the sequencing primer is in the high 70s. Has anyone built their own adapters, or should I just buy the genomic DNA prep kit...?

    Also, I am not compiling huge contigs, but rather, assessing the diversity of the library through selections...what, other than the QC descriptions, do I need to assess this diversity? Can someone point me towards the PERL scripts that would process these data into counted bins of reads?

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin


    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...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    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...
