  • Has anybody tried the Ovation Single Cell RNA-seq system?

    Hi,
    it would be interesting to hear how good it is...the kit costs about 5000 USD for 32 samples! In the FAQ sections they say the kit is designed for high-quality RNA (NOT whole cells, apparently...so why calling it "Single-Cell"?) and the amount of rRNA reads will be <25% (seriously? after paying all that money 1/4 of my library will be junk?).
    Besides, what are these nucleotide analogs that are incorporated during the first cDNA strand synthesis and later they are used for the fragmentation? Any idea? thanks!

    Bumping this thread because I am curious as well.


    We tried 500 pg of good quality total RNA with this kit. It had horrible results - 60-90% Duplication rate, 30% rRNA fractions. Anyone else have this experience?

      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...

      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...
