    Targeted RNASeq procotols for viral sequencing

    Hello,

    I am starting a project on which I would like to detect viral RNA (herpes) in human tissue. Essentially I would extract the RNA, perform targeted amplification and library prep for multiple viruses and then sequence. I think I have an idea of the bioinformatic system to use.
    However, I am not really sure where to start on the library prep issue (i.e. which library prep system to use). I've looked into ScripSeq which sounded promising but seems very expensive.

    Is there a "custom" protocol/template out there than I can use to accomplish these goals. My main concerns are (if i would to start with known herpes primers, how would I successfully make a library that contain adapters and index for multiplex?)

    Thank you and excuse my naive questions. I am not new to using NGS for already commercially prepared custom gene panels (i.e. Qiagen targeted RNASeq panels) but I am new in developing custom assays so your help would be greatly appreciated.

    I found out what I needed if anyone is interested. It is called (16S Metagenomic sequencing library preparation). It is made for 16S rRNA targeted amplification, however the protocol can easily be adjusted for any targeted region on any genome. all you need is to attach illumina adapter overhang sequences to the targeting Forward and Reverse primers, amplify, clean up, amplify again with indexes, clean up and sequence.

      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

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

      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.
