    Hi everyone! some questions about TSS

    Hi i am new. I just noticed that some papers define the region within 1 kb to TSS as "near TSS: while the region over 1kb as "far away from TSS". what 's the speciality of the "1kb" ? especially when one protein owns regions "near TSS" and "far awya from TSS" are there any expected difference?

    The 1Kb distance is pretty arbitrary, in fact you'll find a range of distances in different papers (I've seen up to 5kb upstream to maybe 2kb downstream). There are typically some proteins that bind closer to the actual TSS than others, but the exact distances used to discriminate between things isn't really set in stone.

      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...

      New Genomics Tools and Methods Shared at AGBT 2025
      by seqadmin


      This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.

      The Headliner
      The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...

      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...
