  • very simplified whole genome sequencing library preparation process

    Background Next generation sequencing (NGS) has been widely used in biological research, due to its rapid decrease in cost and increasing ability to generate data. However, while the sequence generation step has seen many improvements over time, the library preparation step has not, resulting in low-efficiency library preparation methods, especially for the most time-consuming and labor-intensive steps: size-selection and quantification. Consequently, there can be bottlenecks in projects with large sample cohorts. Results We have described the all-in-one sequencing (AIO-seq) method, where instead of performing size-selection and quantification for samples individually, one sample one tube, up to 116 samples are pooled and analyzed in a single tube, ‘All-In-One’. The AIO-seq method pools libraries based on the samples’ expected data yields and the calculated concentrations of the size selected regions (target region), which can easily be obtained with the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and Qubit Fluorometer. AIO-seq was applied to whole genome sequencing and RNA-seq libraries successfully, and it is envisaged that it could be applied to any type of NGS library, such as chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massively parallel sequencing, assays for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing, and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture. We also demonstrated that for genetic population samples with low coverage sequences, like recombinant inbred lines (RIL), AIO-seq could be further simplified, by mixing the libraries immediately after PCR, without calculating the target region concentrations. Conclusions The AIO-seq method is thus labor saving and cost effective, and suitable for projects with large sample cohorts, like those used in plant breeding or population genetics research.

    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.

    Recent Developments in Metagenomics
    by seqadmin





    Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...
