@ singlemoleculer
Thanks for your advices. I checked my sequences but I am not sure about some points:
What does very rich of A's and T's mean? Do you have a percentage? The same with the low number of G's.
Of course I find CTAG's but where is the limit?
I also find many sequences with long stretches of polyA's polyT's? Is this also an indicator for bad sequencing?

The standard Helicos filtering software gets rid of these artifacts automatically. If you don't have access to the software, you can do manual filtering. Very rich in AT means A+T>90%. These are usually caused by problems in sample preparation. Any such sequences should be discarded unless you are working with a very AT-rich set of sequences like Plasmodium in which case you have to adjust the cutoff. For CTAG, you should look at the dimer frequencies. If CT+TA+AG+GC>70%, you should also discard. These sequences are usually caused when 2 DNAs are too close on the flow cell and the signals overlap. The filtering software actually has a more complex algorithm but this is good enough for most purposes.

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...-

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...-
