Is it possible to multiplex more than 384 samples on a Novaseq 6000 in order to obtain very low coverage WGS (0.5-2x)?

You can also use the NovaSeq XP workflow and load 4 different sample pools (1 pool per lane on an S4 flow cell) using the same 384 UDI adapters. -

No reason why it would not be possible. Since you don't specify an organism, I presume you mean a mammal. So you want an average of 3 billion bases/sample. So that would be 1000 UDIs. Presuming you don't want to use the Xp workflow as misterc mentions.
But I'm wondering what misterc means by "the same 384 UDI adapters"? Is he referring to the 384 UDI set generated by Illumina and passed on to their oligo partner, IDT?
Anyway, the issue here, I would think, would be initial oligo cost. You have to drop around $40K to have IDT manufacture a set of 384 UDI adapters. You would have enough to last forever. Whereas, if you were going to use Nextera or Nextera Flex, you could buy step-out primers containing the 384 UDIs for around $6K.

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.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM
