  • 23andMe: FREE* genotyping, today only!

    Thought this might interest some of you! (Cross-posting a bit from my blog.)

    23andMe is offering FREE* genotyping today until 11:59PM PST to celebrate DNA Day early (apparently).

    The asterisk is because it's not actually free. It's $108 plus shipping/handling costs because you have to pay for a 12 month subscription to their services.

    Still, for about 1,000,000 SNP genotyping, this is a darn good deal.

    I'm not actually sure yet what we receive back in terms of raw data (or if they actually give you back raw data). They do give you the data in some form--possibly genotype calls? Anyone know for sure?

    I'm interested for myself, of course, but if your lab has five or fewer human samples (per lab member ) you've been meaning to get 1,000,000 SNP genotyped... well, I'll leave it at that!

    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...
