I have around 10% adapter dimers, relative to the molarity of my target product, in my final library. I am trying to avoid another cleanup to reduce costs. What are the maximum amount of adapter dimers you have run with? Should I expect to lose about 10% of my reads?

I wouldn't sequence libraries that were much more than 2 or 3% dimer.
Also, keep in mind that the dimers will cluster much more efficiently than your library so you will lose closer to 20 to 30% of your reads.
So I guess you have to decide if you want to spend a little extra money on another cleanup or spend money sequencing dimers.Josh Kinman

Originally posted by Ingeneious View PostThanks for the advice. Have you sequenced with that much? I have seen that recommendation on the boards, but wondering if I could get away with more.
This would be for more than a single experiment or I would happily do another cleanup.
If you are multiplexing samples you can also perform a cleanup after pooling which could save you some on beads.Josh Kinman

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...-
