    Are there alternatives to the Sanger sequencing for Big Dye Terminator kit?

    Hi, All

    As far as I know, there are two alternatives from Nimagen(Brilliantdye) and McLab(Brightdye). Does anyone have experience/feedback on these two or other alternatives?

    Thanks

    Both work well.

      I realize this is an old thread, but does anyone use Promega's ProDye and can the volume used be cut down to 1/8th or 1/16th, as we used to do with BigDye 3.1?

        I think it should be possible to dilute most big-dye chemistries down to 16X - 32X fold, provided you add some DNA polymerase (Like thermo DreamTaq),
        use 10ul of Taq polymerase for 400ul of digdye/buffer mix for 96 reactions.

        Also it can help resque big Dye mix, that had been held in customs for a few weeks at room temperature when being shipped to some third world country...

        Also make sure the quality of your DNA is good or use PCR products for sequencing.

          Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
          by seqadmin




          The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
