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!).

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
