    Methods Mol Biol. 2009;496:89-114

    Authors: Lu Y, Boehm J, Nichol L, Trucco M, Ringquist S

    Class I and II loci of the human leukocyte antigens (HLA) represent the most polymorphic region of the genome. Evolutionary pressure has resulted in a large number of allelic variants of these loci ensuring the high frequency of heterozygous genotypes observed in human populations. Molecular techniques, including sequencing, are capable of precisely defining HLA alleles. Sequencing by synthesis methodology employed by pyrosequencing represents a complementary approach to other molecular methods of HLA genotyping. Out-of-phase sequencing of HLA alleles by pyrosequencing can resolve certain cis/trans ambiguities that would otherwise require the sequencing of cloned DNA. Genotyping of HLA loci for the presence of specific amino acid variants is beneficial for proper matching of organ donor to recipient, the monitoring of HLA associated genetic risk to autoimmune diseases, population genetic studies, as well as evaluation of the genetics of human host-human pathogen interaction.

    Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
    by seqadmin



    Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

    Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
    by seqadmin




    Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
