    newbie question on generation of libraries..

    When I read bioinformatics book, I got "However, generation of libraries is a bottleneck. Most researchers are not able to do this." .Is there anyone know why? Thx

    What book are you reading and what year was it published? That is not an accurate statement, I don't think. The bottlenecks are usually either obtaining relevant clinical samples, obtaining sequence data if you have a small sequencing core with lots of samples to process, or properly analyzing the data if you lack computational resources/knowledge/experience in analyzing these datasets.

      thanks for your reply. The reading materials is a guide from BioScience. page 49. Thanks for your help!

        arkilis, you are reading product literature from Axygen, not a book with a neutral point of view. While library-making can be slow and a stumbling point for someone new, it quickly becomes routine.

        Axygen sells 96-well plates suited for robotics. You have to read product literature from a company with a certain amount of criticality (and I say this as a founder of a commercial entity myself). In this case, it helps Axygen to encourage people to think about how to make lots of libraries more easily, which maybe will give them the idea to use automation and Axygen's plates. That may be perfectly valid, but not always the solution for each person reading the guide.

          Thanks, so do you have any recommendation on new bioinformatics people?

            Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
            by seqadmin




            The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...

            Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
            by seqadmin




            The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
