    It may mean the size of your DNA before sequencing. By observing the sizes of DNAs, we can check contaminants. And they will fragment DNAs and sequence them. Later you will get the sequencing data.
    By the way, your data looks strange.
    And this result does not have nothing with Illumina library insertion data.
    Generally, the insertion size can be 180-350 bp.
    You better BLAST both sequences of the same id and manually check the insertion size.
    What is strange about it?

    The 35bp and ~10.3kb peaks, are the spike-in size standards that Bioanalyzers use for DNA high sensitivity chips.

    Normally TruSeq "PCR-Free" libraries will produce a range of product sizes similar to this. Of course, the longer products will fail to produce sequence-able clusters. They seem to be unable to compete with the shorter products.

    Of course the pure-programmers probably aren't reading this sub-forum. But to any who are: Please don't require insert sizes to run your assembler/mappers! If your algorithms really need that information, figure it out! The bioanalyzer results don't give you an accurate assessment of the insert sizes, for the reasons I describe above. So asking the lab what the average size of the inserts were is not terribly useful!

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
