    Adapter sequence

    Hi,

    Can someone please tell me what is an "Adapter sequence" and what is its purpose?

    Thanks

    These are any short piece of DNA of known sequence that one adds to the ends of their unknown DNA of interest, usually for the purpose of eventually placing a sequencing primer there.

      Hi,

      I have illumina multiplex paired end data of 75bp. The insert size 300-400bp including primer and adapter sequences. I want to check whether my data contains adapter sequence or not for that i used SSAAHA2 and the result file shows matched sequences at different positions like 66th bp to 40th bp, 75th bp to 60th bp. But mostly from the right side of the read.

      I want to know can we adapter sequences on both sides of illumina reads.

      What if we have 15 bases of adapter sequence out of 20 bases on the right side like from 50th to 65th bp? and then we have other sequence as well that makes up readlength 75bp. Will that be adapter sequence or not?

        New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
        by SEQadmin2


        Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

        We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing

        How Immunogenomics Decodes Immunity’s Genetic Blueprint
        by SEQadmin2




        The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.

        This convergence of genetics, immunology, and computation...
