The trinucleotide repeats are resposible for Huntington's disease and fragile X syndrome. Huntington's : normal-less than 27 'CAG' repeats disorder-more than 39 'CAG' repeats. fragile X syndrome : normal- 21 to 31 'CGG' repeats, disorder- more than 200 'CGG'. Anybody can tell me which instrument(next-generation equipment) is best for this specific gene test?

As for PCR being more useful, I think it depends on your number of samples and application. If it's just for diagnostics, PCR should be sufficient.
If it's for a larger study where you want the precise number of trinucleotide repeats in a large number of samples, a 454 approach might be more effective.Mendelian Disorder: A blogshare of random useful information for general public consumption. [Blog]

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...-

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...-
