  • 454 Detection Probability

    Hi, I'm writing my thesis and I'm trying to figure out what is the probability of sequencing a read once you put it into the 454. I know that you will loose some reads at emPCR step and then in the sequencing. So the question is if I feed the 454 with 1 million reads how many will probably be sequenced?

    Hi aleferna,

    Copying from a paper "Using only one nanogram of fragmented DNA, we prepared ... 53.6 millions Y library molecules, which is sufficient for 10 Titanium runs (4 million enrichment beads to yield 1 million high quality reads per run) for Roche 454 Titanium sequencing".

    If you have 1M library molecules, beads recovery around 70 ~ 90%, one fourth beads being sequenced, you might end up around 200,000 reads.

      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...
