This type of pattern is observed in a couple of cases. One is random priming used in RNAseq libraries and other is where you are making libraries that include transposases. The bias at the beginning of the reads is likely due to the Nextera transposase sequence bias (similar to bias seen in "random priming") .Last edited by GenoMax; 04-25-2019, 07:47 AM. -
FastQC interpretation
Hello,
I would love some advice on my linked image below. I was using FastQC to look at the data from a recent MiSeq run. All my isolates are flagged at the "Per base sequence content". I am to understand that a 'good' graph is expected to look like all the bases are of similar % throughout. The DNA sequenced is from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and I am seeing a high GC content (as expected) and much lower AT content.
Any advice or explanation would be greatly helpful!

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
