  • how to determine the fist position of a genome

    most of bacteria genome are circle, but in database most are saved in line. I mean they have first position and last position. I used to believe the ori position, which is replication start point, was defined as first position, now i find i am wrong. how is this defined. any help will appreciated.

    Ultimately it is arbitrary. I think the E.coli genome project used a 0 near the replication origin, but that need not be followed.

    Another possible landmark would be a well known restriction site, perhaps chosen from some previous work on the organism such as a physical map.

      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...
