Exploring the possibility of using this kit for our hyb-capture library prep front-end process. Does anyone know the specific enzymes that make up the cocktails? As well, is the enzymatic fragmentation random or does it target specific sequences? Is it known what the fragmentation enzymes are? Thanks

My Qiagen rep was just here talking about this. He claimed that it isn't sequence specific cleaving at all but beyond that I couldn't get much info out of him. Showed some data comparing sequencing sites to covaris sheared DNA. They didn't have any company data on what I'd call high gc genomes so he's going send me a kit to try on some 75% GC streptococcusMicrobial ecologist, running a sequencing core. I have lots of strong opinions on how to survey communities, pretty sure some are even correct.

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 on Modified Bases...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
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
