  • sequencing microsatellites

    Dear all,

    I was wondering if any of you have information on sequencing microsatellite repeats (amplicons) on a 454 platform.

    Essentially, I would like to get some information on the accuracy when sequencing microsatellite amplicons. Do you get the two alleles (e.g. heterozygotes) in equal proportions or do you get a distribution of several repeat lengths due to pcr-errors? If so, what kind of coverage (50x, 100x) do you need to estimate the "correct" alleles?
    And is there any difference between di-, tri, tetra or penta-repeats as you would expect?

    I would be gratefull if any of you could point me to some papers on this topic or share your experience.
    Thanks!

    Note: I do not ask for info on how to use 454 seq to develop new microsats. There are plenty of papers on that.

    Hi Koen,

    I am wondering the same thing. Please if you have any information of some labs that have already tried this methodology please let me know. In our lab we are thinking of a pilot project using Illumina for amplicon sequencing. But I would like to know if there is some body that have tryied and pros and cons of the technique, actually for me is strange that no-body has published about this issue.

    Thanks for you post and looking forward for any help

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      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...
