I'd like to hear about people's experiences using amplicons, long range PCR and exome-seq for HLA typing?

We use amplicons (MHC IIb). Many issues need to be taking into consideration for good quality genotype estimates. Our genotyping protocol paper has been accepted and will be published soon. My advice to people is to steer well clear of 454 and use Illumina.
I don't see how sequencing an entire genome could provide accurate haplotype reconstruction....? -
In your paper, with how much depth did you sequence those MHC amplicons ? Any recommendations on primer sets or is that described in your article ? Also curious to hear about the analysis software you used.
WGS is not ideal, it would require high coverage.

Hi, interested to read your paper as I'm using Illumina. Yes, which software to use for genotyping?Originally posted by JackieBadger View PostComment

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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
