  • 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.

    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...
