    Hello from cocomilk

    Hi, everyone,
    I'm located in Indiana, U.S.A. My project in the coming year will be chip-seq. I'm looking forward to benefit from and contribute to this forum. This is a great forum

    Hi Cocomilk,

    Welcome to seqanswers!

    What aspect of chip-seq will you be working on?

      Thank you apfejes!

      I'm interested in finding out all sequences that interact with one steroid hormone receptor protein. So I'm most interested in CHIP-SEQ. My work is more on wet bench side, but I'm very interested in the bioinformatics research.

      BTW, we do not have a illumina machine on campus (though we do have a SOLID), so we are going to use service from bcgsc.

      You are located in Vancouver, are you from bcgsc?

        Oh, apfejes, I checked your page and found that you are from bcgsc. And you are a bioinformatics scientist! That's pretty great! I'm going to read your paper about findpeak3.1 and try to understand any much as possible.

          hi cocomilk,

          That's cool - so you'll be working more on the "data interpretation" side of the ChIP-Seq, then. Good luck with the experiment!

          Yes, I am at the BC GSC. I work mainly on the software development side of things when it comes to ChIP-seq.

            The fp3.1 paper is just an application note and is very light on details. If you will be using the FindPeaks software, you're probably better off reading the PDF manual that comes with the package, available on the BCGSC web page.

            Cheers!

              Thanks! Got it

              Yeah, I was expecting a long paper and only see two pages. I'll check the manual as you mentioned. I may have some stupid questions in the future.
              Thanks a lot!

                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.
