Going to 300, or going to 2x150? The two aren't the same thing.
But yes, 2x150bp with an overlap gives excellent results. In fact with an insert size of 450bp I've seen the Illumina give better assemblies than 454 can manage.
The cost differential is so large, even if 454 can give better results, many users of our service aren't opting to pay the difference. -
Ah, as soon as we get and figure out how to squeeze MiSeq I'd like to try PE 250 on 400bp fragments. 5-10M reads.

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 -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
