  • Optimization of the cDNA-PCR sequencing protocol​

    I'm using the cDNA-PCR Sequencing Kit (SQK-PCS111) to sequence full-length transcripts from human brain tissue. I have followed the protocol from Oxford Nanopore Technologies and I have obtained about 10 ng of cDNA per sample. However, when I run the QC step using the Qubit and the TapeStation, I see a very low concentration of cDNA (around 1 ng/ul) and a very broad size distribution (from 200 bp to over 10 kb). How can I optimize the cDNA-PCR sequencing protocol to get higher yield and quality of cDNA?

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    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...

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    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...
