  • RE: Geeting from Ray L

    Just wanted to say Hi. I have been working with Next-gen sequencing since 2008 as a post doc at NCGR in Santa Fe. I am currently and ARS at LRRI and an ARSe in life ;-). I have numerous pubs with analysis, bioinformatics and hopefully a couple of nice clinical sepsis data using metabolomics, proteomics and transcriptomic analysis. I am a very mid co-author on the STM carrier-screening diagnostic performed for Batten's Foundation. Most of the lab work was done by Darrell Dinwiddie. I developed a batch processing protocol at NCGR for maize samples, and I alpha tested the early TruSeq kit last year with Jim Huntely at NCGR that was presented at AGBT (yeah - those results sucked, but we learned a lot and the new TruSeq kits seem great). I have some experience with FFPE and the truseq lib prep. I am working on fibrosis and next gen models along with other systems analyses. I am very interested in DSN, FFPE, and transcriptomic analysis. Submitted my first K99 this year and hoping for the best.

    Happy to discuss any of what I learned as well as gather advice.

    Thanks, Ray

    Hey Ray i have a question regarding TruSeq kit. Did you see any biases with TruSeq kit compared to old mRNA 8 sample preparation kit?

      I have not seen any differences. The new kit is a lot easier to use than the old kits.

      Since we are not using gel selection any more my average peak is around 300 BP. You get a lagging tail that I saw up to 1000 bases. Idealised libs are usually between 200 and 400 BP.

      With poly A selection you are going to get some 3' bias. If that is a concern data from Shujun suggests that the DSN protocol gives much more even distribution across the transcript. However, that protocol is a bit tricky to utilise and Illumina won't guarantee the protocol with TruSeq. I haven't seen any issues - but I am still waiting for the sequence results.

      I haven't heard about sequence bias with the MP adaptors that was an issue with the older kits. But I am not the best person to ask in regards to that.

      Hope that helps,

      Ray

        Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
        by seqadmin




        The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...

        Quality Control Essentials for Next-Generation Sequencing Workflows
        by seqadmin




        Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all the way through to data analysis. This article outlines the key QC steps in an NGS workflow, along with the commonly used tools and techniques.

        Nucleic Acid Quality Control
        Preparing for NGS starts with isolating the...
