    NovaSeq metatranscriptomics

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if anyone has experience with (a) metatranscriptomics run(s) on the NovaSeq 6000?
    Our preferred company switched from HiSeq to NovaSeq. We are planning to sequence about 110 soil samples.
    Some years ago, we used the BiooScientific NEXTflex™ Rapid Directional mRNA-Seq Kit for a HiSeq 2500 run.
    I guess NEXTFLEX® Rapid Directional RNA-Seq Kit 2.0 or the NEXTFLEX® Rapid Directional qRNA-Seq™ Library Prep Kit are the current incarnations. Are these compatible with NovaSeq? Are there alternatives you could suggest?

    Thanks!

    Best regards

    Does anybody have any suggestions?

    In addition, is it possible to multiplex >100 samples on a NovaSeq using existing tags?

    thanks

      Yes it is possible to do 384 (and many more if you do custom designs).

      The IDT® for Illumina®-Nextera™ DNA UD Indexes Sets A, B, C, and D Indexes offer up to 384 unique dual indexing that enables accurate assignment of reads and efficient use of the flow cell. These unique dual index codes use 10 base pair codes.
      See this page.

        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.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
