Hi- I wonder if anybody has used the Nimblegen Sequence Capture and sequenced the library using Illumina Solexa Sequencer? How it worked? It will be great if you have a protocol. Thanks.

Yes, we had no problem using Nimblegen Seqcap whole exome capture (in solution) with Solexa sequencing (Nimblegen guidelines attachedhttp://www.nimblegen.com/products/li...me_SR_v1p2.pdf). We are currently waiting for results from the combination "Nimblegem array-based sequence capture (custom resequencing)" +"Solexa sequencing" (in-house protocols available if this works).
FUTHER QUESTION: our next aim is to try Nimblegen + multiplex Solexa sequencing - did anybody ever try to capture on a Nimblegen array and sequence on GAIIx several captured samples in multiplex?? Any protocols for indexing aso? Any other option(s) for cost-effective small scale capture/resequencing projects (e.g. 2 Mb for 2 patients = when Agilent Sureselect Target enrichment systems would not fit).
Thanks,
Estelle

We've done a lot of capture/Illumina sequencing. A couple quick comments on our observations:
The Nimblegen methods are reasonably good but we use in-house protocols with very consistent results and find the protocols more convenient. One disclaimer is we have only done the head-to-head a couple times so it may not be a 100% fair statement to say in-house is "better" than Illumina. Generally speaking, the standard Illumina lib prep methods will work fine with the Nimblegen arrays with minimal modification.
Multiplexing works well. We routinley do 4 samples per array capture and depending on the capture region size, multiplex two or three arrays per sequencing lane. Again, methods are pretty straightforward. We didn't need to reinvent the wheel. Just made sure all the libraries were high quality and the hybridizations, washes, and elutions were performed as optimally as possible.HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology

Very encouraging comment about multiplexing, thank you! Are you using 385K or 2.1M arrays? Would it be possible to share your in-house protocol / slight modifications from library prep to multiplex capture and sequencing? Many thanks, Estelle.

Yes to the multiplexed solution phase question. However, in limited trials, the results were better to divide the input library into multiple, individual, lower volume reactions rather than a single reaction with multiple samples. Of course, your results may vary. We've only done this a small amount with whole-exome and a bit more often with a custom design that was specifically designed to increase the number of probes per capture sequence to enable multiplexed capture.HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology

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...-

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...-
