Hello, I plan on submitting eight environmental samples for Illumina Hi seq 2000 (2X100 cycles, paired end) to look at viral communities. I've heard that there is a way to estimate how many lanes are enough with regard to the number of samples. Is one lane enough for eight samples in terms of looking at viral communities as virus has small genome size? Thanks.

You can expect to get ~200 million clusters on a HiSeq 2000 lane (provided you have good libraries) (200 mil X 100 x 2 bp total). You should be able to calculate theoretical yield of viral genomes using an average genome size to get ~viral genomes/lane. -
Here are a couple of links that should help:

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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
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
