  • Sequins: spike-in standards for genome sequencing

    Genome sequencing has become a principal tool in biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. However, numerous experimental and bioinformatic variables influence the sensitivity and precision of variant detection.

    We have developed a set of synthetic spike-in standards (termed ‘sequins’) that emulate features of a human genome, such as sites of genetic variation, and constitute internal controls for genome sequencing. Sequins can be used as qualitative controls to assess multiple stages of a genome sequencing workflow, inform bioinformatic analyses and establish an internal reference scale against which quantitative features of genome biology can be measured.

    Please see our recent Nature Methods publication for a full description of sequins for DNA sequencing.

    This thread provides a forum for current and future sequin users to discuss any aspect of this emerging technology.

    You can also watch this short video, which provides an introduction to sequins or visit http://www.sequin.xyz/ for more details.

    Cheers

    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...
