Someone recently asked me to help them build an assembly for some 454 data sequenced after using the Sigma/Aldrich Genomeplex Whole Genome Amplicification kit. Unfortunately, the primer sequencing used in library construction are all proprietary sequences and I can't seem to find them anywhere. Has anyone else dealt with this type of data and need for unknown primer removal. Any suggestions on how to identify possible primer sequences and cut them out of my sequences aside from some sort of wholesale global end-trimming approach?

Thanks for the response, bbeitzel. Yes, I noticed a common sequence as well, which is probably the Universal primer, in lots (~53% of all, ~5% at 3' end and ~48% at 5' end) of the reads, but not all. Unfortunately, the sequence is ~18bp long and Sigma said their universal primer was 30 bp. Was your motif closer to one of these two? Unfortunately, our template in this case is likely to have lots of repetitive motifs in them (microdissected chromosome with big peri-centromeric regions) so we need to be as careful as possible about removing components that are actually meaningful to us.

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-

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...-
