Hello, sequencing community.
We've seen an unprecedented amount of activity in the sequencing world over the past year. With so many new technologies and methods, we want to ensure our members have access to all the latest information.
That being said, we've added several new sections to our Sequencing Technologies/Companies section of the site. We hope that our members will find these new sections useful as they discuss some of these great new research tools.
Let's start the conversation by asking new questions about these important new technologies or sharing some of the latest research from one of the new sections below.

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
