    Brief Introduction

    Well, alright, I should probably be working on a manuscript or two, or processing some sequences, but I'll take a quick shot at an introduction:

    I'm currently a graduate student at the BC Genome Sciences Centre, in Vancouver, BC, working towards a PhD in bioinformatics. My focus is on the use of Illumina/Solexa sequencing to identify mutations/pathways/genes involved in the development of cancers (primarily breast cancer). I've also been involved in several other projects, including transcriptome analysis, ChIP-Seq analysis and even a bit of aligner work.

    I currently have software developed in Java (cross-platform) to work on all of these different experiment types, and I'm slowly releasing them once they reach some semblance of maturity.

    I also blog on the topic of next-gen sequencing, on occasion, on my blog at fejes.ca.

    Cheers!

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.


    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
