discrepancy between qubit and bioanalyzer results
When I do the QC for my bead cleaned-up pre-amplified cDNA (Smartseq2) using AATI fragment analyzer and bioanalyzer, the concentration was very low (0.01ng/uL) and almost no peaks. But when I measured the same samples using Qubit, I got about 0.1ng/uL. Why are these methods giving different concentrations? Thanks!

The FA/BA is probably a more accurate measurement (although I trust qubit more for concentrations >1ng/ul). It's easy to get background readings of 0.1-0.3ng/ul by qubit. Did you run a negative control for comparison? -
OK, I see. I will include a negative control to see how it goes. Thank you for your reply.Originally posted by cmbetts View PostComment

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...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
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.

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.
