    Ghost sequences

    Hi Friends

    Custom protocol sequencing gave 90% junk sequences. Rest is matching the human genome. Majority of junk sequences are repeats of adapter/primer, where the sequencing primer should bind. You can get a gist of the aligned sequences and the organization of the final library product in the attached pdf.

    I am using RP1 and RPI1 primers with a PS (Phosphorothioate) bonds at the penultimate base. Both the primers are HPLC purified from a reputed supplier. Earlier I had a doubt that PS bonds are interfering cluster formation. However, techsupport clearly mentioned that this cannot be the case. Is it because of some contaminating primer from the other libraries, which were sequenced in the lane? Has anyone seen such sequences in their libraries?

    Your input will be of great help! Thanks!

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    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
