  • Introduction & Quality Control

    Hi Everyone.

    I am a Quality Assurance/Quality Control manager at a government environmental research lab. A chemist by training, quality control has usually been made up of a suite of standard reference materials, replicates, blanks, etc. with acceptability criteria.

    Quality control for DNA sequencing and bioinformatics remains a mystery to me. I have not been able to find any explicit discussion of quality control for these activities (on the web). I have been surprised to find that some labs use instrumentation to demonstrate quality control without discussing the quality control necessary for that instrumentation.

    This is totally a new area for me, but one that is growing in use in environmental research. My reason for joining this forum is to find out the appropriate quality control for conducting DNA sequencing and source identification (bioinformatics?).

    I look forward to future information exchanges on this topic either via forum or via email (hopefully I've set my profile to allow my email address to be accessed).

    Some of these standards are still being developed. I assume you have access to "Nature" journal. See this recent article for some information: http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v3.../nbt.2403.html

    Also see the first few presentations here: https://www.google.com/#q=NGS+site%3Afda.gov

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
