We have an Ion Proton that I will like to carry out fungal ITS amplicon sequencing on. I intend to use ITS1f and ITS 2 primers. However, while I have successfully carried out WGS on the Proton, this is the first time I will be doing amplicon seq. I do know I need to put in barcodes (as I have about 8 samples) and adapter. Would some one have a work flow I can modify or where I can get the necessary information? Is it possible to have custom made oligos with the adapter and barcodes? If so, how do you select your barcodes, their location on the oligos e.t.c?

Ion has a protocol for amplicon sequencing on their Community site. Look for Fusion Library Protocol. -
Thanks, have now used the one found here http://ioncommunity.lifetechnologies.com/docs/DOC-3322Originally posted by snetmcom View PostComment

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...Today, 06:46 AM -
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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
