Hello everyone!!
Hello everyone. My name is Rebecca and I'm Research Assistant at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX. For the past three years I have worked on the Roche/454 platform but recently moved to working with the Illumina GAII. I'm learning general library construction as well as CHiP-Seq, RNA-Seq and Agilent SureSelect Capture protocols. We are also anticipating the delivery of a HighSeq as well. I have a great deal to learn and am looking forward to spending time on this forum learning from other users of the system. Cheers!!

One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM
