  • Unmapped reads (ChIP vs Input)

    I'm analyzing a ChIP-seq (Illumina) experiment, and getting very different proportions of unmapped reads (bowtie2) from the ChIP (~35%) and input (~5%) sampes. This holds true for all the replicates and all the conditions. Any ideas why?

    Probably more adaptor dimers in the ChIP, if the input was prepared with more DNA, or since it holds for all samples you might have a contamination from the ChIP reagents. It shouldn't matter but you can always do a de novo assembly with the unmapped reads if you really want to know.

      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...
