I am doing some QC on my illumina sequencing raw data. One of the test I saw other people ran is to do a nucleotide distribution calculation. Is this really some useful information? How do I use it.
Thanks

Perhaps download the FastQC package to explore your read statistics with a simpel GUI: http://www.bioinformatics.bbsrc.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/ -
Yes the nucleotide distribution is useful.
If the distribution seems "uneven" at the beginning, that could indicate some residual adaptor sequences. The unevenness should be obvious when you compute the distributions of each base.Comment

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. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.
The systematic characterization of the human proteome has...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM
