Does anyone know whether then beads/primers in the Lib-A emPCR kit are named for the primer on the beads or for the amplification/enrichment/sequencing primers? In other words, are the sequences obtained from the A reagents those from the A direction or the B direction (and vice versa)?

Nevermind. When I got no reply here, I ended up calling GS Support to ask. I'll give their answer here for posterity's sake. The beads and primers are named for the amp/enrichment/seq primers, not what's on the beads. If you use the A reagents only, you'll get sequences from the A primer; likewise for the B reagents. -
Sorry, would have answered but didn't log on yesterday. Answer is correct. We had an early experience where I thought it must be the other way around, but turns out the RA had mixed up two rows of tubes. Got great sequences from wrong end of amplicons and no barcode info
. That was back when emPCR kits II and III were replaced by Lib-A.

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...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
