  • Can you recommend a commercial HMW gDNA extraction service for insects in the US?

    Hello,

    I'm working on some extractions but am under a time crunch. I'd like to send away for extractions as a plan-B. Can anyone recommend a commercial or university lab that has experience with HMW gDNA extractions for PacBio sequencing specifically from insect tissue?

    Any good Yelp reviews or testimonials would be appreciated. I've contacted a few labs we work with and no luck find anyone with experience extracting insects.

    Going to keep looking, found one in Canada, but can't get the paperwork through in time for customs. Any advice is appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Dacotah

    Circulomics (makers of the HMW kit) has customized the protocol for a particular species and sent back DNA. You might try them, although I don't know if they rush for a time crunch.

    Have you looked at the low input protocol for PacBio-ing a single mosquito? https://www.pacb.com/publications/a-...io-sequencing/

      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...

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      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...
