In 454 paired-end sequencing analysis (3, 8, or 20kb), has anyone found that the sequence on the left of the linker to be significantly shorter than the sequence on the right? Theoretically, a randomly sheared sample should generate reads with sequences of equal length, on average, on either side of the linker. However, I am seeing a bias for the linker to be located near the start of the read. Could the circular products be more prone to shearing at a site closer to the left side of the linker?

Your post made me check, but both for the two smaller datasets (bacterial genome 3kb old GS FLX and Titanium 8kb PE), and the larger one (eukaryotic genome Titanium 3kb, 8kb, 20kb) I don't see a significant difference between the length distributions of the left half and the right half.
Also, when I plot the position of the linker (I take the start position of the right half from the 454TrimStatus.txt as a proxy) and divide it by the original trimmed read length, there is no bias either... -
Thanks for checking! I'm curious, how are you shearing after circularization? Covaris or nebulization? Also, are you using carrier DNA? It shouldn't make a difference, I just want to rule anything put...Comment

In solexa sequencing, pair end library especially index PE, we also found that pollution of read1 adpter >>read2, i don‘t understand why?Comment

BTW, index mate pair library !Comment

We follow the standard protocols, so nebulization and carrier DNA.Originally posted by lzembek View PostComment

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
