Can I use 5500 ECC chemistry for de novo genome sequencing? Just wondering why there is no reference on this issue.

Reference ? Reference paper ?
I guess it is just too new, and fairly unsuitable. Most de novo assemblies are done with longer reads, eg 454, Illumina 100bp+ PE, etc. Solid chemistry is particularly suited for reference based assembly.
One of the best attempts at Solid de novo assembly I've seen is Iverson et al. 2012 Science Untangling Genomes from Metagenomes.

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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
