  • What is ERCC spike-in really saying about my sequencing run?

    I've used ERCC spike-in to prep the library for my recent run of sc-RNA seq.

    Looking at the plot of ERCC read counts vs ERCC concentration, I know we should ideally expect to see a nice correlation with R2 =1, for every sample in the library.

    Looking at the sequences itself, QC and mapping %, I've had a bad run. Slopes of the ERCC plot are all over the board and anywhere from 0 to 1. What specifically does this ERCC plot really indicate about the sequencing run? Besides that "something went wrong" or that samples aren't evenly amplified? - How should I rectify this?

    While we're at this, can someone explain or point me to a good resource on how to use ERCC counts to normalise my data?

    Thank you!

    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...
