    Library insert size

    Hi There,

    I am aiming to sequence bacterial genome with NexteraXT 300bp paired-end reads. I have made my library and all the fragments size (including the adapter) are ranging from 200-650 (I check with the bioanalyzer and gel). Do you think that I will have sufficient insert size in the end? Do you think that I will have good insert size for clustering on the MiSeq platform (using Nextera v3 chemistry)?

    Would be very helpful of your suggestions here!

    Cheers,

    Shimul

    Insert sizes will be around 50-500 bp and most of sequenced fragments will be from shorter inserts and their abundance will depend on size distribution of library fragments. Library should cluster and sequence fine but you will not benefit from the long reads. To sequence larger fragments library fragments should be 600-1500 bp.

        Hello,

        I am finally running of my sample on the Miseq using MiSeq V3. I have checked the machine now and it shows that after 70 cycles, the >=Q30 is 96%, cluster passing filter 91.4%, and the cluster density is 1092K/mm.

        Do you think that the run is going well?

        Hope to hear back from you soon again!

        Cheers,

        Shimul

          Those numbers are good, so the run is probably going well.

              @Shimul, it is not necessary to post the same question multiple times on the forum. Your run metrics look good.

                From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
                by SEQadmin2


                Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


                The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

                Environmental Genomics in the Age of NGS: From Microbes to Conservation Strategies
                by SEQadmin2

                Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.


                Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...
