We are trying to troubleshoot contamination issues that we are having in our ChIP-seq experiments. It seems that recently we have been sequencing constructs that have been cloned in the lab in other experiments in our IPd samples. We are trying to decided how to proceed, how many precautions to take. We are interested in hearing what others do. Do you have a designated area, designated equipment, etc.? At what point in the procedure do you begin to use this designated area? As early as the IP or just at the amplification step? Any and all of your thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

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
