Someone recently asked me to help them build an assembly for some 454 data sequenced after using the Sigma/Aldrich Genomeplex Whole Genome Amplicification kit. Unfortunately, the primer sequencing used in library construction are all proprietary sequences and I can't seem to find them anywhere. Has anyone else dealt with this type of data and need for unknown primer removal. Any suggestions on how to identify possible primer sequences and cut them out of my sequences aside from some sort of wholesale global end-trimming approach?

Thanks for the response, bbeitzel. Yes, I noticed a common sequence as well, which is probably the Universal primer, in lots (~53% of all, ~5% at 3' end and ~48% at 5' end) of the reads, but not all. Unfortunately, the sequence is ~18bp long and Sigma said their universal primer was 30 bp. Was your motif closer to one of these two? Unfortunately, our template in this case is likely to have lots of repetitive motifs in them (microdissected chromosome with big peri-centromeric regions) so we need to be as careful as possible about removing components that are actually meaningful to us.

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...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
