  • Any experience with amplicon sequencing of MHC loci on Illumina?

    We are trying to decide between MiSeq and 454 FLX for a MHC genotyping project in one bird species (MHC class II B exon2, 180bp). After running a preliminary run on Roche Junior and carefully filtering out artefacts, we found we need a very large sequencing depth to saturate the variability of alleles in each individual (up to tens of alleles). For the full experiment of multiplexing and genotyping amplicons of 200+ individuals I would prefer MiSeq over Titanium given the price/performance. But amplicon sequencing on Illumina may get tricky even with less problematic loci than MHC (low complexity problem). Plus I heard about huge headaches when analysing MHC data from Illumina (troubles with distinguishing true alleles from erroneous reads).
    Does anyone have any experience with sequencing MHC amplicons on Illumina. I'd be grateful for any comments/recommendations.

    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...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    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...
