  • Untangling The Volcanic Earthworm Genome

    Dear SEQanswers friends,

    We have taken an earthworm genome to the final round of the 2016 SMRT Sequencing Grant Program “Explore your most interesting genome” supported by PacBio.
    The top five project finalists will be chosen during a voting campaign, starting on the 11th of April. It’s all about sexy genomes so please vote at:

    PacBio SMRT Grant Programs offer SMRT sequencing to outstanding research projects that advance scientific discovery with highly accurate long-read sequencing.


    You can vote once per day up to the 1st of May (please, bookmark the link if it makes it easier).

    See all the details about the volcanic earthworm here:

    We want to tell you a story that is over half a billion years old. The earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus is an animal that has evolved to live in an extraordinary environment, a volcanic geothermal field in Sao Miguel Island, one of the nine Islands in Azores Archipelago. By sequencing...


    Please, vote for the earthworm genome.

    Kind regards


    Luis, Rafael, Dave, Pete and Sam

    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...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
