  • DNA clean up for Pacbio

    Hi,

    I'm planning a de novo sequencing on isolated gram positive bacteria.
    I heard from the sequencing provider that this technique is really sensitive to contamination. Especially for gram positive bacteria, what I understand is the residue or sugar from cell wall easily cause problem in the library preparation.
    The isolate is gram positive cellulose degrading bacteria, the situation might worse.
    So I plan to grow it on cellobiose, but meanwhile, if there is a good way to remove polysaccharide after the DNA extraction?

    Thanks in advance!

    DNA Normalizer can actually be used for polysaccharide removal. Just putting in a little more beads.

      Finally I used the PowerClean DNA Clean-Up Kit from Mobio, and the sequencing works out fine.

        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...
