  • 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.

          Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
          by seqadmin



          The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

          Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
          by seqadmin



          Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
