I have a low complexity archaeal enrichment for which I want a quick (and cheap) look inside (metabolic potential) and importantly, to identity its archaeal members based on 16S (e.g.) its members. Which would you recommend: 454 with 700 nt reads, or Illumina, 2x100 reads. I heard that Illumina is better, but i this case I'm not sure.

I assume by sequencing you want to assemble contigs and search for presence of genes involved in metabolic pathway of interest and also identify archaeal species. 16S region is not divergent enough (at least for bacteria) for correct assembly from short reads. I would prefer MiSeq 2x300 reads over 454 long reads because of accuracy and cost effectiveness.

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...-

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...-
