  • Hello from a core facility for diagnostics and research

    Dear users,

    I have joined SEQanswers today and would like to introduce myself.

    I have recently started working at a NGS core facility as scientific head, which involves a lot of troubleshooting.
    Besides diagnostics we do research into human diseases and collaborate with researchers from different fields. We therefore get DNA and RNA from different species and materials. We have Illumina sequencers, but use kits from different companies for sample and library preps. For nucleic acid quantification we use different machines depending on our needs (Bioanalyzer, TapeStation, Qubit, Nanodrop).

    Training:
    Master in Biology (Genetics, Botany, Communications Sciences)
    PhD in Human Biology (cancer research)
    1. Postdoc in a comprehensive cancer center
    2. Postdoc at a university clinic (Human Genetics)

    I hope to expand and my knowledge and contribute what I have learned.

    Best regards
    DarkStar

      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...
