  • AmpliSeq Design

    Could someone explain to me how AmpliSeq for Ion Torrent works? I understand how it's a multiplex PCR, but I've heard that it uses uracil containing primers that they aid in the sensitivity and specificity of the PCR reactions because the RNA/DNA interactions are much stronger than DNA/DNA interactions. This is potentially why the ends of the amplicons need to be digested for the rest of the library preparation to work? Is there any truth to this?

    If that's true, could I use something like a polymerase that isn't inhibited by uracil to convert AmpliSeq amplicons into Illumina compatible amplicons?

    I would really appreciate and resources anyone has... I feel like this stuff is exceptionally hard to find.

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin


    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 on Modified Bases...

    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...
