Metagenome sequins (spike-in controls)
Dear Sequencing Community,
We have just released a new set of sequins that represent a synthetic microbe community, and act as reference standards for use in metagenome applications.
Metagenome sequins are shipped free for non-profit research purposes, and can be easily ordered from www.sequin.xyz/order/
We have released a set of 86 sequins that each mirrors a microbe genome sequence, with a diversity of GC content, size, and genome architecture represented. Together, they are formulated into two alternative mixtures (A and B) that span a ~3 x 10^4 concentration range and, when compared have known fold-change differences.
Metagenome sequins are added to DNA samples prior to library preparation, and undergo concurrent sequencing and analysis with the accompanying sample, and can act as a reference set of internal controls throughout the NGS workflow, and allow sequencing bias, assembly performance and quantitative accuracy to be assessed.
Because the sequins share no sequence homology with known natural sequences, sequins and derivative reads can be readily distinguished from the accompanying environmental sample, thereby comprising an independent, internal, sample-specific reference control.
Further information (including case studies, laboratory protocols, and resource files) can be found at www.sequin.xyz/about/metagenome.
Thanks for your support,

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 on Modified Bases...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
