  • Going from biotinylated primer to unlabeled primer in emPCR

    Hello,

    Merely making an observation and having a question. Does anyone know why 454 went from including a biotinylated primer A in their GS20 workflow to current Titanium chemistry (may have been in FLX but I'm not certain) that uses an unlabeled primer in emPCR?

    Current procedure seems quite cumbersome. After emPCR, one has to break emulsion, melt off complementary strand, annealing enrich primer, enrich, melt off enrich primer A, annealing seq primer followed by pyrosequencing. This is all because they no longer use a biotinylated primer in emPCR.

    Any feedback is appreciated.

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    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...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    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...
