  • de novo assembly and Illumina read length

    We are preparing to do paired-end de novo sequencing on our GAIIx with the new kits. Is there a reason to run less than the maximum 100+ cycles on each end? There was a suggestion that the higher error rates at 100+ may make <100 cycles more desirable. My thoughts are more is better, particularly b/c a majority of the cost is linked to cluster generation.

    This is usually true but if the more you produce is meaningless it is only a waste. For example one year ago we produce with the kit of 36 bases experiments of 45 bases with the result that we where oblige to throw away all the bases after the 36 ....

    If the kit is able to produce 100 bases that you have to produce only 100 and be happy if all the 100 bases are of good quality and can be used

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      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...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      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...
