  • Barcode contamination in nanopore

    We have used 24 barcodes in 1 flow cell for a 16s run using SQK-16S024.The flow cell has been washed. Now we want to run more samples for a 16s run using the same barcodes in the kit on the same flowcell. We have heard this causes cross contamination in the new run due to leftover previous template.
    Can somebody let me know the % of contamination expected from previous run?
    People have suggested to use different set of barcodes in nanopore as a solution to this, but practically this is not possible since we dont want to buy multiple barcode kits and many flowcells.
    Have somebody ever had this experience before?

    Based on Nanopore's own research, the WSH004 kit has less than 1% carry over: https://community.nanoporetech.com/p...ash-kit-exp-ws.

      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...
