I think you're right about adapter dimers - after you sequence through the adapter and hit the flow cell you see overcalling of either A or G.

Are you uploading to BaseSpace? If so, you just need to let the analysis finish up and then go in and fix your sample sheet and requeue the analysis under the "more" tab of the summary page. If...

PCR amplicon library - DNA smearing

I've been making two-step amplicon libraries for years now with very few problems. The original amplicons are tailed with partial Nextera xt adapters and then I use Phusion HF to add the rest of the...

The reason we stick with Illumina rather than going with Remi (I use them as a third-party vendor for most of our other instruments) is that Illumina is very generous with reagent replacement when...

The number of reads (molecules sequenced, also called clusters) is determined by the concentration of library added. There is an optimal number the sequencing center will be aiming for depending on...

One possibility that would explain this is that your phiX and library are not denaturing properly. How old is your NaOH? I always denature with NaOH, and then heat-denature my final combined...

How about using bead-based cleanup and just skipping the columns entirely? I have heard of people having trouble with contamination of their PCR-grade water when they have samples with very low...

I don't have advice specific to the NovaSeq, but I had to move our MiSeq because the room it was in was slightly too hot (74deg F) so the chiller never worked optimally and the temperature always ran...

Earth Microbiome Locus Primers

Is anyone using 515F and 806R as locus primers for the Illumina two-step amplicon PCR library prep?

I have one investigator using them following the entire Earth Microbiome protocol (so adding...

Well. . . it's actually an old Stratagene qPCR instrument that will allow you to do a single endpoint read so it's only used as a "plate" reader now.

I'm not sure how well Qubit reactions would...

What are you using for quantification now? I find the Qubit to be time-consuming for 96 samples - instead I use the Qubit reagents, white strip tubes, and a plate reader that can handle tubes.

Not good :(

It was an amplicon run, but the cluster density was good (~600K) with 20% phiX, so I expected the Q30 to be much better than 64% overall. It was only 54% for Read 2. Both reads only...

If 95% of them are passing filter, then you are definitely not overclustered. If you were overclustered your percentage passing filter would be low.

If you Google your capitalized sequence, it comes up as a motif that matches "Pbx3(Homeobox)/GM12878-PBX3-ChIP-Seq/Homer." That means nothing to me, but maybe it does to you or someone else?

Can you post a picture of your Bioanalyzer results? It sounds a bit like it might be overloaded - that can create a split peak.

There's no reason you can't do 250x50 with a 300-cycle kit. You should end up with similar Q scores to Read 1 on a 500-cycle kit, which are okay at the end (not great, but okay).
