We currently use Illumina's ScriptSeq index primers for PCR amplifying cDNA produced by Wafergen's PrepX mRNA protocol. The ScriptSeq index primers only allow for 48 indexes. Are there any other primer sets with greater than 48 indexes that are compatible with Wafergen's PrepX protocol?

The ScriptSeq user guide provides the complete sequences of the reverse/index primers. If a user so desires, they can order their own custom primers from any good oligo/primer manufacturer and simply use index sequences not provided. Note that ScriptSeq uses indexes 17, 24 and 26 which are not "standard" illumina indexes of the same number (ILMN reserved those for the future). These indexes were designed prior to the purchase of Epicentre by Illumina. -
Yeah. I guess we could just make our own.

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...Today, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
