we need to evaluate intestinal microbiota from fecal samples, so quite high complexity... and identify rare bugs would be appreciated.

In that case, the general rule of thumb is "as much data as possible given the money and time constraints". That's probably going to be the 318 unless there's a much greater chance of a failed run due to a newer system. -
Hi,

I can't find any paper about 16S metagenomics based on Ion Torrent PGM and having an idea of the amount of data needed would help us to reduce the number of runs (and the amount of money) needed to find the best settings.
Thank you for your help.Leave a comment:

It depends on what the population is (how diverse for example), and how "deep" you want to sequence (do you care about rare bugs?)Leave a comment:

16S metagenomics, how much data needed?
Hi everyone,
i'm starting a 16S metagenomic analysis using Ion Torrent sequencer...
We need to decide what chip is better to use...
314 that gives around 40Mbp of 200bp data?
316 that gives aroung 200Mbp of 200bp data?
318 that gives around 1Gbp of 200bp data?
How much data is usually required for a good rapresentation of a sample microbial 16S population?
Thanks to everyone that will help

At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...09-26-2023, 06:26 AM -
Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...09-07-2023, 11:15 PM -
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) represents a range of diverse molecules that play a crucial role in many cellular processes. From serving as a protein template to regulating genes, the complex processes involving RNA make it a focal point of study for many scientists. This article will spotlight various methods scientists have developed to investigate different RNA subtypes and the broader transcriptome.
