Bacterial RNASeq Expression profiles and genome size
Would some one guide me on how many million reads (50 bp, no pair ends) would be considered as 'safe' if objective is to get expression profile of the entire genome of Salmonella strain (~4.5 Mbp genome size). Thank you all in advance!

I would consider 6-10m a good target to start with. We found sequencing to be better than chips in the past, even with <500k reads.

Watch out for rRNA (95% of reads map there!).

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
