    Hello and dark digit cycle on HiSeq and NovaSeq

    Hi at all,

    im new in the forum and i want say just hi. Hope we have a nice time.

    Anyway, my question is about the dark digit cycles on HiSeq and NovaSeq.

    First, what does it mean and what is happening in this cycles??
    How many cycles are dark digits and so on...


    Thanks and best regards,

    Look on page 5 of this document from Illumina. I believe you are referring to "chemistry-only" cycles described there.

    There is also a past thread on this: http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29852

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        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 Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        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...

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
