Bioo Scientific recently launched the NEXTflex-HT™ Barcodes, single-index barcodes added during the ligation step of library prep, which offer deep multiplexing for both paired-end and single-read Illumina sequencing. Each barcode contains a unique 12 nt index sequence with a Hamming Distance of five or greater, permitting dual error correction to enable proper differentiation between samples. Additionally, each pair of consecutive barcodes is suitable for low level multiplexing. Currently 384 barcodes are available; however, > 2,000 are being developed.

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...Yesterday, 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
