Hello,
Is it possible to do a run of 60 cycles with a 50 cycles MiSeq Reagent Kit v2 ?

Hi jsvinco,
Each kit is loaded with 25 additional cycles for indexing. So unless you need both indexing reads the answer is a 'yes'. If you need both indexing reads as well as the 50 cycles you might be pushing it - we have pushed the machine 5 cycles over the total cycle count (i.e 330 cycles on a 300 kit) and it behaved (although the machine complains at set-up). Other might have gone further?
Hope this helps - Cheers, Mike. -
Thank you for your help. It's very helpful to now that.

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
