Dear All,
There will be a meeting for Cambridge users of the CRI Illumina sequencers at CRI next month. Illumina will be presenting a roadmap update to showcase the new HiSeq sequencer (http://www.illumina.com/systems/hiseq_2000.ilmn) and the developments in sample prep that are coming in the spring. There will also be presentations from two local users, if you would like to present at one of our meetings please let me know. We will be hosting meetings in May, Aug and Nov at the Gurdon Institute, Plant Sciences and LMB.
This meeting will be held in the CRI lecture theatre from 5-6 on Wednesday 17th of February. There will be beer and pizza afterwards so stick around and talk with other users in Cambridge. Please confirm your attendance so we order enough!
Please let me know if anyone you work with would also like to come along.
See you in February.
Sincerely,
James.

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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
