  • With Illumina now going to 300bp, does there remain a viable role for 454?

    The subject says it all.

  • #2
    Going to 300, or going to 2x150? The two aren't the same thing.

    But yes, 2x150bp with an overlap gives excellent results. In fact with an insert size of 450bp I've seen the Illumina give better assemblies than 454 can manage.

    The cost differential is so large, even if 454 can give better results, many users of our service aren't opting to pay the difference.

      Ah, as soon as we get and figure out how to squeeze MiSeq I'd like to try PE 250 on 400bp fragments. 5-10M reads.
      454 RIP!

        Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
        by seqadmin


        The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin




        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...
