Hi. I have some samples from another lab that were prepped with the Qiagen kit. All I have is a limited amount of DNA, & the DNA is just okay quality. I did a clean up and ran them on the Miseq. Some of the sequencing quality is poor. Any recommendations for improving the data quality on the analysis side? Or even something to do if I redo the library prep? Thanks! The samples I prepped ran fine, so it isn’t a run issue.

Could you let us know what specific problems you see with the data (and the DNA samples?)? -
What library prep tools are at your disposal? I'd suggest Nextera XT for low-concentration samples. You could also reamplify your libraries prior to normalization. If your samples are low on concentration, try vacuum concentration.Comment

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
