What would be the benefit from using 2 x 8bp dual indexes vs say... 1 x 16bp single index for a paired end read?

One good reason is to identify barcode swapping between samples that can happen during PCR:

How many adapters or primers would you need for each of those scenarios to identify a given number of samples?Providing nextRAD genotyping and PacBio sequencing services. http://snpsaurus.comComment

Thanks, this makes sense. According to the paper, it looks like contamination is also an issue, if you pool after PCR.Originally posted by atcghelix View PostComment

I think SNPsaurus's point is more important, however. You can get by with far fewer distinct adapters by using the combinatorial aspects of a two-index system.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
