    Need help

    Hi. I am new. I have Just graduated and have to start an internship. When I Will start I already have a task to perform and I would like to ask you what do you think are the analysis I should perform in order to answer their questions. They have a colture of a bacteria and they extracted the DNA and performed 4 different sequencing analysis.

    1. Sequencing with Illumina 2. Sequencing with Nanopore 3. Performed whole genome amplification then sequencing with Illumina 4. Performed whole genome amplification then sequencing with Nanopore.

    MY JOB IS TO analyse the sequencing data and to tell them Which One Is Better, if Nanopore or Illumina with the whole genome amplification.

    The reason they perform whole genome amplification is because this colture grows really really slow and they never have the amount of needed DNA to directly perform Illumina or Nanopore. This Is a test they perform not on their bacteria of interest but with a pure colture they already have...but After this step when they have the data they Will

    And the most importante Is to see if the WHOLE GENOME AMPLIFICATION KEEP THE PLASMIDS or make It to lose them in the process.

    They want to try the whole genome amplification because the amount of DNA Is very very low and the colture takes months to grow. They want me to tell them if this Is a good alternative to increase the amount of DNA for sequencing.

    MY questione Is: what are the analysis you think I would have to perform with this 4 data they gave me? What should I do to see PLASMID Lost and others in the data from pre- whole genome amplification compared tot the sequencing without amplification?
    (I was thinking at sequencing quality - fastqc to see Infos about the sequencing itself but what about PLASMID Lost?)

    I really Hope you could answer. Thank you!

    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...
