  • Sequencing Illumina mate pair libraries beyond 36bp

    Anyone sequencing mate pair libraries beyond the recommended 36bp?

    Thanks,
    Phillip

    I was thinking about doing the same thing as well, has anyone tried this ?

    Thanks

      Mate pair length

      I recently did a 101-bp run with indexed mate pairs. Rather than cut out a 300-400 bp chunk at the second fragmentation step, I took a 600 bp chunk. So far, we have not seen any odd bioinformatic results indicating a junction-point issue. That said, you can always just trim the ends if it is of concern. I indexed the mate pair and had it in with 4 other bugs that I prepared as paired end. The mate-pair sample definitely was the cleanest of the group, i.e. better quality scores toward the end of the reads.

        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...

        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...
