    short duplication of part of the insert ChIP-Seq

    I am currently verifying the library quality of my ChIP-Seq preparation by sequencing some of the subcloned products into the TA cloning vector. Upon alignment of the insert (i.e. between the two Solexa primers), I frequently obtain a 80-90% alignment to the human genome with an extra bit of sequence that does not align. When I look at this extra sequence (usually between 4-9 nucleotides, but it can go up to 30 nucleotides), it is always complementary to the start of the insert. Here's an example:

    ...ttccgatctCCTTAATTxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAATTAAGGagatcgg....
    (end of Solexa primer) (rest of insert) (other Solexa primer)

    The beginning of the insert (CCTTAATT) would align to the human genome with the rest of the insert up to the AATTAAGG sequence which would not align. In every case, this remaining sequence would be complementary to the beginning of the insert (in this case CCTTAATT). This occurs 70-80% of the time. On rare occasion, I will obtain an insert without that feature that will entirely align with the human genome. Is this normal ? What could be the cause of that ? It is always happening on the side of the Solexa PCR primer 1 (CAAGCAGAAGACGGCATACGAGCTCTTCCGATCT), regardless of the orientation of the insert in the TA cloning vector. Am I amplifying molecules that are circularized by a certain mechanism over other molecules ?

    Thank you !

    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
