  • Greetings from Honolulu, HI!

    Hello, all!

    I'm afraid I've jumped the gun and have already made a thread asking for help, but now is as good a time as any to make an introduction.

    I am a PhD candidate at the University of Hawaii at Manoa entering his fourth year in the Zoology program.

    Briefly, I am interested in the effects of life history - particularly dispersal capability - on the evolution/diversity and population structure of elasmobranch fishes (sharks, skates, and rays). To that end, my dissertation will focus on evolutionary patterns and processes in deep evolutionary time (phylogenetic methods), phylogeography, and population structure (population genetics).

    I'm currently attempting to examine the population structure of a shark with exceptionally limited dispersal capability using next-generation sequencing methods. In particular, I'm hoping to employ ddRAD in order to generate a large number of SNPs which may be useful for population genetic analyses. I'm currently hoping to use the Illumina MiSeq platform, but may decide to move to the Illumina HiSeq platform as my collection of samples and multiplexing needs continue to grow.

    I've been lurking for some time, and this seems like an awesome community. I look forward to my time here with all of you!

    Pleased to make your acquaintance,

    Sean

    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...
