HiSeq 2500 Rapid run mode, PE 100bp, on-board cluster generation, dual index 8+8, DNA libraries prepared by Agilent QXT kit.
We had several runs with high percentage undetermined read. Normally it is around 2~3% but in those runs they were 20~30%. The % Perfect Index Reads dropped from ~97% to 60~70%, and the % One Mismatch Reads (Index) increased from 2-3% to 30~40%. When we use the same sequencer to repeat the same sample, the repeat run data was good as normal.
We carefully checked the index sequence of those "undetermined read", and found the index 1 sequences are consistent with some samples in the pool, but index 2 sequences have some mismatched bases.
We don't know if the flowcell has defects or the PE cluster kit has problem. Dose anyone have the similar experience? Thanks a lot!
