What is the RNA Integrity Number (RIN)?
Overview At CD Genomics, we pride ourselves on the quality of the long read long sequencing data we generate for Pacific BioSciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT). High-quality sequencing data is the ultimate goal of next-generation sequencing. Since the final quality is largely dependent on the quality of the starting material, it is important to ensure high-quality starting material. Unlike […]
High-Molecular-Weight DNA Extraction for Long-Read Sequencing
Long-read sequencing technology requires high molecular weight DNA of sufficient purity and integrity because the quality of the DNA starting material will be directly reflected in the sequencing results. Any irreversible DNA damage present in the input material (e.g., interstrand cross-links, etc.) will result in compromised performance and reduced read length. Contamination present in the sample […]
