    454 junior user - hello everyone

    Hi everyone,
    I am Encarnita, french-spanish immunologist working in Japan.
    I am using 454 Lifescience Tech. since more than 3 years, but autonomously using 454 Junior since a year. I've been getting many good infos by surfing on that great forum , but I registered only recently !
    I've been suffering several troubles since I perform the 454 libraries preparation, emPCR and sequencing by my self, such as too few enriched beads, too much enriched, never-ending washing steps, few passed filter reads out of many raw reads, software upgrade issues leading to new setup after 12 successfull run....
    I have no experience on other platforms, but I am eager to learn and I really want to understand precisely what's going on with the 454 steps.
    I'll be pleased to help also, if I have any relevant info.
    All the best to seqanswers community !

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.


    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
