Illumina, established in 1998 in San Diego, CA, is a leading company in the field of sequencing. In 2006, Illumina acquired Solexa, got the next-generation high-throughput sequencing technology and developed it into a mainstream technology on the market. It currently provides sequencing systems such as MiSeq, HiSeq 2500, HiSeq 3000, HiSeq 4000, HiSeq X Ten, […]
As we all know that gut microbes provide multiple services to host, including digestion. Mammals with special diets, such as carnivores and anteaters, have special gut microorganisms to make it possible for them to eat such food. A common theme in the microbiome field is that the host diet has a significant impact on their […]
Microsatellites, also known as simple tandem repeats (STRs), are simple repeat sequences distributing in eukaryotic genomes, which are composed of 2 ~ 6 nucleotide tandem repeats. The repeating times in individual are variable, therefore, the application of microsatellite markers is very extensive. Microsatellite loci is usually amplified by PCR. PCR products are analyzed by electrophoresis […]
Summary: a DNA methylation age inference method, combined with Sequenom MassARRAY technology, can reduce the error of the age to 4.7 years. Age estimation is one of the most important topics in the field of forensic medicine. Especially for juvenile delinquency, highly corrupt bones of the dead and nameless corpse, it can provide the scope […]
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a kind of method to detect all or most of the genes among different individuals in specific species and to understand the genetic variation between different individuals. Many susceptibility genes and loci have been found in colorectal cancer using the GWAS method, but there are still many unknown susceptibility genes […]
Jun 7, 2016, single cell transcription and methylation analysis have become the powerful tools for single cell research. However, it is difficult to reveal the direct correlation between DNA methylation and gene expression in single cells. This is because there is a large difference between the cells, and we can not detect a cell’s transcription […]
Every day we are dealing with countless microbes. But the latest research on a metagenomics shows that the microbial population on our skin surface is highly stable. These little guys are wrapping around us, like an invisible “little universe”. The bacteria, fungi and viruses on our skin are mostly harmless, and even healthy. But there […]
Whole exome sequencing (WES) is now being used more and more in the field of research and diagnosis. Researchers are expected to study the entire coding regions of known genes with adequate sequencing depth and coverage. Currently a large number of exome capture platforms on the market have there respective advantages and some differences in […]
Researchers from St. Petersburg State University developed a method to improve the sequencing ability of DNA greatly, like life microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract or the ocean bacteria in a new study. This TruSPADES method assembles the short reads from the 300 base pairs of Illumina machine through computer into synthetic long reads. The […]
Like many researchers to do hundreds of pieces of Southern blots, I first used PCR genotyping with soon efficiency. It no longer needed such as a few days to see the results and no longer needed DNA microscopic images or UV. With the continuous progress of technology, RCR makes the genomics and transcriptomics change dramatically, […]
