  • Purification Kits

    Hi guys,

    I am doing illmumina amplicon sequencing and metagenomics sequencing from environmental samples. We just purified the a plate. I measured the DNA concentration before and after purification. I found there is only 2% re-coverage. Total DNA concentration less than 1ng/ul after purification. This is horrible.

    What we used is a gel purification kit and so inefficient (slow).

    what DNA purification kits do you normally use for the illumina sequencing? for Nextera kits? We just start to do Illumina sequencing. Back to old days, we did 454 sequencing and it never happened like this.

    Any efficient and better kits recommend?

    Hi!

    I would definetly give SPRI methods a try. The Nextera protocol says to use Zymo columns, but we have tried magnetic beads and it works just fine, and the recovery is really high (90+%).

      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...

      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...
