    New DNA shearing technology?

    I came across this technology for DNA shearing http://www.kbioscience.co.uk/instrum...-DNA_shear.htm Has anyone got any experience with this technology?

    Hi,

    We are successfully using a Covaris sonicator to shear DNA for ChIP-Seq on Solexa platform.
    Especially the reproducibility is higher than that of other systems we have tested so far.
    Only the cost price is a major drawback.

      Well, buy a SOLiD then, and you will get a Covaris also. The other drawback is throughput I guess, the Bioruptor takes up to six samples at once.

        I did see they now have a 96well version as well. I'm slightly worried that the biorupters sonication heats the sample and we could get biased shearing. On the Covaris website they state that this method is isothermal. Did anyone check this yet?

          KASPar Kbioscience

          Hallo,
          does anybody have experience with the KASPar genotying assay from Kbioscience?


          I am thinking of using this technology but I first would like to know your experience.
          Thanks a lot!

            I'm looking to create a couple of 8kb paired end rapid libraries for 454 seq and don't have a HydroShear, I realize there are a few places to outsource the shearing step to facilities such as Profile Genomics or Covaris but has anyone tried Covaris's g-TUBE single-use device that shears genomic DNA into selected fragments sizes ranging from 6kb to 20kb. The only equipment needed is a compatible bench-top centrifuge, looks like it would be about $27/sample.

              Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
              by SEQadmin2



              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 Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
              by SEQadmin2



              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...
