  • 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.

      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...

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      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...
