  • Agilent Haloplex DNA Ligase test

    We bought this kit for DNAseq from Agilent (Haloplex Target Enrichment System) to use in Illumina Miseq. Right now, we have DNA Ligase (that came with the kit), for 5 reaction (samples preparation). If we had another tube of DNA Ligase, we would be able to raise up to 36 reactions, since we still have the other reagents sufficient for 36 reactions...

    I saw on Agilent's website that they sell two different types of DNA Ligase: The PFU DNA Ligase and the T4 DNA Ligase.

    I would like to know if somebody already tried to use one of these DNA Ligase in the kit to verify if works?

    Thanks in advance...

    You could make a pretty good guess based on the reaction temperature where the ligase is used. Pfu ligase is from a thermophile, so if the temperature is high, Pfu, low, T4. I'd probably guess offhand that it's T4. The next question is whether it's a special high concentration enzyme and/or special buffer with crowding reagents to increase reaction efficiency.

      Hmm...I see. Actually, that's something we've been thinking. If there is something inside the kit ligase besides the ligase, that doesn't have in the other two sold by them.

        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 on Modified Bases...

        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...
