What is four clicks
From NuGEN's homepage, this is the minimum number of clicks it would take to open the Ovation Solo RNA-Seq user guide
100
What is the flow cell
Illumina sequencing chemistry occurs on this glass slide containing small fluidic channels, through which polymerases, dNTPs and buffers can be pumped
100
Who is Kapa
NuGEN's NuQuant technology will hopefully knock this company's timely and costly library quantification method off the market
100
What is fourteen
NuGEN's sales team currently consists of this many people
100
What is ChIP-Seq
This common method combines chromatic immunoprecipitation with massively parallel DNA sequencing to identify the binding sites of DNA-associated proteins
200
What is Infectious Diseases
NuGEN's website features six "areas of interest", including Cancer, Epigenetics, Liquid Biopsy, Agrigenomics, Microbiomics, and this popular field of study
200
What is the iScan
This Illumina microarray scanner is commonly used for genotyping arrays, methylation array analysis, and cytogenomics
200
What is Msp1
It's no secret that this commonly used restriction enzyme is used in NuGEN's RRBS kit
200
Who is Joe Don Heath
This NuGEN VP is a stellar musician and loves to brew beer in his free time
200
What is RNA-Seq
Luke wisely tells us that if an epigenetics lab is doing ChIP-Seq and Methyl-Seq, they're probably also doing this
300
What is 156
According to the website, NuGEN has appeared in this many publications this year so far
300
What is Bridge Amplification
During this process, strands bend over and attach to a second oligo forming a bridge. A polymerase synthesizes the reverse strand and the two strands release and straighten
300
What is QuantSeq
This 3' mRNA-Seq library prep kit might be cheap, but it sure doesn't provide as much biological information as NuGEN's Universal Plus!
300
Who are the Los Angeles Dodgers
NuGEN's Vice President of Technology Transfer, Quality and Operations roots for this professional sports team from March to October every year
300
What are microRNAs
These members of non-coding RNAs are typically 17-25 nucleotides in length
400
What is purple
Our fearless leader and CEO is wearing this color shirt in his portrait in NuGEN's "leadership" page on the website
400
What is the MiSeq
This popular sequencer outputs up to 25 million reads and is used daily at NuGEN
400
What is NEBNext Ultra II
A newer version of this competitor kit, which might be found more often in French's territory, works down to inputs of 100pg of DNA and is the newest competition in the enzymatic fragmentation DNA-Seq kits
400
Who is Luke Sherlin and Andrew Shaver
These two colleagues of yours first worked together over six years ago, only at time one of them was the other's intern.
400
What is 10pg to 100ng
One of NuGEN's low input library prep kit takes four hours to run and has this input range

Who is Dr. Steve Sheardown
This scientist from Ceverance along with his team are interested in identifying changes in gene expression associated with neurodegenerative disorders where effective disease management or therapeutics are not available. He's featured on our website for his use of Trio RNA-Seq.
500
What is the iSeq 100
While giving up to 4 million reads of data, this sequencer was designed for labs of all size with simplicity and affordability in mind
500
What is 454 Life Sciences
This company created a method amplifies DNA inside water droplets in an oil solution, with each droplet containing a single DNA template attached to a single primer-coated bead that then forms a clonal colony. The company was eventually bought by Roche and production of their technology was discontinued
500
What is UC Berkeley
Director of Research, Ben Schroeder, received his PhD in molecular and cell biology from this well known university.
500
What is Bisulfite conversion
During the TruMethyl oxBS approach, the incorporation of an oxidation step prior to bisulfite conversion creates a chemically alterable 5-formyl cytosine from 5hmc. During this process, the formyl intermediate leads to a converted uracil, read as thymidine on a sequencer.
