Nextera Flex with poor DNA, reduce tagmentation time?

I have samples for shotgun sequencing that are old. We've spot checked the gDNA on tapestation and many samples have no visable DNA, many of the rest are sheared (DIN >5). We tried standard protocol...

our guess is etoh floating to the top of the flowcell? We had a number of runs with sig more clusters on the bottom than top which started when a new tech started cleaning the pools. I watched her...

I agree, that looks low. and your GC isn't going to cause a problem.

I've been checking the pH of my diluted NaOH with every run-just a drop on pH paper helps me know that my NaOH is ok

Have you looked at the thumbnails? does it look like low clustering? What are you sequencing-super high or low GC?

is your cluster density the same top and bottom of the flow cell? if you have sig more reads on the bottom you may be carrying over etoh from the ampure cleanup

changing between 6 and 8 bp is just a matter of putting the index in the sheet. I'm not sure if you can do 25 bp index or if there's a limit either buried in the software. You could either call tech...

I tested the new kit on my extreme problem bacterial genomes (>70% GC). It appears that the cut site bias is basically the same for the flex as it has been for the other flavors of nextera. the...

have you ever tried ampure cleaning after the denaturing step? That should work, right? Carboxyl groups would attract either single or double stranded. But maybe [PEG] would need to be changed?

Sounds like a fairly straightforward MiSeq run or single lane of HiSeq. Check out my rates for MiSeq (rates on the page are for genomes run on 2x250 MiSeq)

I start with indicator species analysis (indicspecies package in R). you'll need to correct the p-values for multiple comparisons, the package doesn't automatically do that.

I wouldn't move to the longer region on the 2x250 kit. Allegedly the 2x300 is better in the past ~year but I haven't tested it out so continue offering amplicons that are <300bp long.
