    Any suggestion on Ligating Blunt End libraries?

    My adaptors have 3' C*T bond, to complement A-tailing of gDNA fragment, and 5' P.

    I use NEB Quick ligase 5 min at 22C, I also tried Roche for 2 hrs.
    TruSeq ligations are much more efficient, they even pick up very small amounts of gDNA. Does anyone have suggestions on how to improve ligation?

    Thank you,
    D

    Can you say more about your custom adapters? Illumina's may be more efficient than yours, e.g. the opposite end has a non-complementary Y shape (which can't ligate) and I've heard rumors that the complementary portion may be held together by locked nucleic acids.

    Also FYI there's no such thing as "quick ligase"; NEB's Quick Ligation Kit is just regular T4 ligase with a buffer containing polyethylene glycol.

      Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
      by SEQadmin2



      CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

      Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      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.

      The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
