For those of you familiar with the Pippin Prep, currently used for automated DNA size selection and band capture, your thoughts on whether or not Sage Science should commercialize a series of cassettes for RNA too? What RNA applications are of greatest interest? Thanks for your thoughts and help!

If these were denaturing gels that would work on strand denatured DNA as well, I think they would be very useful.
Subtext of a recent thread
Bridged amplification & clustering followed by sequencing by synthesis. (Genome Analyzer / HiSeq / MiSeq)
is that short ssDNA/adapters may be annealing to longer library products -- preventing their removal via size-selection on dsDNA products. If the size selection were done on ssDNA there is no where for these short contaminants to "hide" and they should be removed.

Yes, send them to Purdue and we will test them on our Pippin prep.
I think there are lots of otherwise perfectly good libraries that are getting hosed by small "hitchhiker" amplicons that can't be removed with double-stranded size-selection methods. Maddening!
Well, there is always normal denaturing PAGE. But it always seems like such a hassle to extract the sample from polyacrylamide gels.

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...-
