Hello all, new fellow checking in. I'm currently a summer student rotating through a 454 (FLX/Junior) sequencing lab through the end of August. Considering my previous experience with sequencing was limited exposure to Sanger-type stuff, the opportunity to get into next gen sequencing has been a great learning experience so far. Apart from the mild terror when they handed me a cloth and said "wipe off that ridiculously expensive camera very carefully, no pressure!", anyway . Anyway, a pleasure to be here, look forward to finding out more about this kind of work.

Hello Summer Student
I envy you the opportunity to get involved in this exciting technology so early in your career. The quantity of data is overwhelming with NextGen sequencing, but so is its potential. This Forum is a great place to learn more about the technology and to find resources to help you gain more savvy.
I was introduced to NextGen last December, when I started to work for CLC bio. We have commercial software, but our trial version is fully functional and the tutorials are a great introduction to some of the more common work flows, such as RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, and SNP detection. If you want to work with the trial, it is easy to download, from our web site.
If you are also new to Philadelphia, I encourage you to go to the Reading Terminal Market. It is an adventure for your mouth.
Best of luck Summer Student!

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...-

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...-
