  • SE vs. PE for bacterial RNAseq

    Hello,
    We plan an RNAseq analysis to study gene expression in a bacteria that we have an in house reference genome assembly (~7.8Mbp) and gene annotation (7000 genes) that we are very confident about (both).
    in a previous RNAseq analysis we used 100bp SE reads with ~3M reads per sample (after QC) and got nice coverage and statistics for our gene expression study.

    This time we will use a different service provider (due to some bureaucracy and budget issues) and they offered either ~7-8M reads of 80bp SE, or a similar number of reads but PE with 40bp length and around 350bp insert (for the same price).

    Can anyone suggest me which offer to take ?
    Thank you !

    I would prefer 80bp SE to 40bp PE. I don't think it would have a significant effect on your results, but single-ended reads tend to be easier to work with.

      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...

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      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...
