Hi, I'm writing my thesis and I'm trying to figure out what is the probability of sequencing a read once you put it into the 454. I know that you will loose some reads at emPCR step and then in the sequencing. So the question is if I feed the 454 with 1 million reads how many will probably be sequenced?

Hi aleferna,
Copying from a paper "Using only one nanogram of fragmented DNA, we prepared ... 53.6 millions Y library molecules, which is sufficient for 10 Titanium runs (4 million enrichment beads to yield 1 million high quality reads per run) for Roche 454 Titanium sequencing".
If you have 1M library molecules, beads recovery around 70 ~ 90%, one fourth beads being sequenced, you might end up around 200,000 reads.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
