I'm using unique dual index primer pairs for my experiments. I'm multiplexing around 12 samples per NextSeq run. I don't know how to create a custom library in BaseSpace that will allow me to assign the unique primer pairs to all my samples as it's limited by a 12 x 8 format (12- i7 indexes and 8-i5 indexes, I need to be able to enter 12 i5 indexes). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I ran into a similar issue recently. If you have the Dx version of the NextSeq, there is a software update that can do FASTQ generation on the machine similar to the MiSeq.
The other option is a work around where you will have to create two custom library kit. Each kit can do 8 UDI samples if you set your samples in a diagonal so that each row and column will have an unique index. After that just pool them together in the pool tab in BaseSpace. -
I don't have the Dx version but your workaround will be just fine, I didn't think it would let me combine samples from two different "kits". Thanks for the help!Comment

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...Yesterday, 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.
