We are planing to move to Solexa from 454, the problem is if it is possible to get a good assemble from only Solexa data for the human Mitochondrial DNA(17Kb, circular, no repetitive element)?

I have seen good assembly for plant mitochondrial DNA using 35bp reads. The fact that there's no repetitive element makes it easier. -
Do you have the reference paper?Comment

Oops...my mistake. What I saw is chloroplast DNA (~160kb) not mitochondrial DNA. I think it's not published yet.Comment
-
I asked some experts, it seems highly possible, although nobody publish it yet.

We have sequenced human mito DNA on the Illumina and get very good results.Comment

Hi Bruce,
What's your software to do the assembling?Comment

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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
