Hi,
In our lab we are working with allele-specific ChIP-seqs and RNA-seqs. After standard ChIP-seq or RNA-seq protocol we attribute obtained reads to either parental or maternal genome based on available SNP information (there is on avarage 1 SNP per 300 bp).
Our department hosts Ion Proton device - and many researchers use it successfully for regular ChIP-seq and RNA-seq experiments.
I would like to get to know if Ion proton is good enough for my purpose.
Does anybody have experience with allele-specific sequencing on Ion Proton?
Is HiSeq2000 better enough to justify paying 2-3 time more for my experiments?
Best,
Michal

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...Yesterday, 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
