We are just preparing our lab for the installation of a HiSeq. We are in an older building so have some concern about the +/- 2C temperature requirements during the length of the run. I am wondering if anyone has any comments on how important this temperature control is.

We were told by the Illumina engineers that there wasn't a temperature requirement for the HiSeq since the flowcell plate is actively temperature regulated (as opposed to our GA2, which has a peltier unit that comes on and off).

From what our FAS has told us, 68F (20 c) is the sweet spot for the HiSeq's; this isn't as important with respect to the flow cell as it is with respect to the lasers/other components. I personally start getting nervous when I start seeing the ambient temp edging into 69, and if it were to ever hit 71 I'd call facilities.

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...-

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...-
