Absorbance (4μl in 400μl water) = 0.05

Concentration = 0.05 * 50 (μg/ml) * 100= 250 μg/ml =250 ng/μl

c1*v1 = c2 * v2

1's = stock solution

c1= 250 ng/μlv1= ?c2 = 6 ng/μl (you needed 300ng in 50 μl= 6 ng/μl)v2 = 50 μl

v1= 6*50/250 μl = 1.2 μl

Next generation sequencing: Illumina/Solexa sequencing

Next generation sequencing: Illumina/Solexa sequencing

Advantages: FastCheap (overall)Can be used for RNA sequencing and quantification

Disadvantages: Sequence reads are short

BLAST

The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches.

BLAST can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families.
