  • Reduced representation bisulphite sequenceing with Solid

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with using the Solid platform for sequencing of RRBS libraries. I can't find any literature on this, everyone seems to use Illumina.

    I suspect it may be problematic, but we have a Solid sequencer our lab so it would be great to find a protocol for using it with RRBS.



    Cheers!

    I'm not sure if this is much help, but this paper used SOLiD to do whole-genome BS-seq http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21706001. One of the difficulties you'll face will be in aligning BS-converted SOLiD data since most BS-aligners focus on base-space reads (e.g. Illumina). Ben Langmead (one of the authors of the linked paper) has a program to align SOLiD BS-data (albeit whole-genome), but my understanding is that the program is still in beta.

      Thanks very much Pete. We have just decided to go for Illumina instead for our RRBS work, so thankfully I no longer have to worry about this.

        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...
