    What kind of encoding method Illumina Genome Analyzer is using?

    Hi, everyone. I am now working on NGS preprocessing of data. When I checked GEO for illumina platform information. I can find that some of the data used Illumina Genome Analyzer II and some just used Illumina Genome Analyzer. Since I am doing quality control, I need to be full aware of the correspondent encoding methods, namely, ASCII+33 and ASCII+64. I know that 64 is for Illumina 1.5+ and 33 is for Illumina 1.9+. I was wondering if Illumina Genome Analyzer II is using 33 and Illumina Genome Analyzer is using 64. Thanks for answering this stupid question.

    If that data you are looking at is a couple of years old then most likely it is using the Illumina (1.5+) fastq format. Data from GA and GAII from that vintage should fall in that category.

        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
