We are in the planning phase for an experiment that requires sequencing of a DNA pool of length about 140bp. It is crucial that the entire fragment is sequenced. Platform will be Nextseq500 or MiSeq, depending on what the Power Analysis will demand as sufficient read depth for what we want to do. Anyway, I would like to ask for your advice on the running mode. Should we perform 150bp single-end or 2x75bp paired-end sequencing? I ask because typically base quality decreases towards the end 3' end. Is it therefore advisable to run it paired and then merge the two reads into a consensus sequence?

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-

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...-
