    Probability of sequencing low abundant transcripts from non-normalized library

    Dear users,

    I am new to this community and this is my first thread, I am also new to next generation sequencing analysis but I have interesting issue and I want to get some feedback from you. Thanks in advance for any replies!

    Here is a scenario:
    > non-normalized eukaryotic transcriptome library
    > 3' Tag Sequencing; Reads of 100nts length; Illumina HiSeq 2000 Single Reads Machine

    Two sequencing Attempts:
    1) 50 Million Reads at one run with starting RNA consentration X
    2) 3 Runs with respectively 10MilReads, 20MilReads, 20 MilReads with starting RNA concentration X

    The RNA concentration is the same in the sample before any of the four runs!

    Question: Do I get the same set of transcriptome representation between attempt 1 and attempt 2?

    Note: Assuming that the probability of getting a very low abundant transcript is constant between runs, i would expect that the chance of observing these transcript in a smaller sampling size is less than in a higher sampling size

    Predicted observation: In the second attempt after adding results I would expect that the transcriptome is overwhelmed only by transcripts of higher concentration in the sample, while I would expect to get more less abundant transcrips in the one time sequencing run with 50MilReads (attempt 1)

    Thank you for your discussions!

    Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
    by SEQadmin2



    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

    Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
    by SEQadmin2


    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
