So, I'm working with a several bacterial genomes, and I'm learning bioinformatics as I work, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. My genomes have a lot of repeat sequences (for a prokaryotic genome) that are really the last elements to place into the genome, however I want to make sure that I assemble everything correctly. Thus, my question is how do you make sure that repeat sequences are placed correctly in the genome. Is the best way to PCR out from the repeat sequences and see where the different sequences belong, or are there other easier and quicker ways to accomplish this goal. Basically, what is the fastest and most accurate way to determine the location of the repeat sequences. Sorry again if this is an dumb question, but I don't know that much about genome sequencing and bioinformatics and I'm having to learn a lot from everyone here. Thanks

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...04-22-2024, 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
