Hi all!
I'm curious, what are the major bottlenecks for you in NGS library preparation? Does automation solve them?

Sample QC before library prep is the major bottleneck for us -
sara_ahmed, could you please explain more, what issue do you have with the sample QC? Do you work with DNA or RNA?Comment

We work with both. It is not necessarily a problematic step, just the slow step when dealing with a high volume of samples. It is also not solved easily by automation.Comment

Fragmentation of genomic DNA if you have a single sample covaris!
Any kind of gel extraction.Comment

Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM
