  • Ghost sequences

    Hi Friends

    Custom protocol sequencing gave 90% junk sequences. Rest is matching the human genome. Majority of junk sequences are repeats of adapter/primer, where the sequencing primer should bind. You can get a gist of the aligned sequences and the organization of the final library product in the attached pdf.

    I am using RP1 and RPI1 primers with a PS (Phosphorothioate) bonds at the penultimate base. Both the primers are HPLC purified from a reputed supplier. Earlier I had a doubt that PS bonds are interfering cluster formation. However, techsupport clearly mentioned that this cannot be the case. Is it because of some contaminating primer from the other libraries, which were sequenced in the lane? Has anyone seen such sequences in their libraries?

    Your input will be of great help! Thanks!

    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...
