    Can I use default sequencing primers for Miseq?

    I use below PCR primers to prepare libraries for Miseq amplicon sequencing:

    i7-INDEX2-Spacer- gene_specific_Primer

    CAAGCAGAAGACGGCATACGAGAT TCGCCTTA GTCTCGTGGGCTCGG +gene_specific_Primer

    i5-INDEX2-Spacer+gene_specific_Primer
    AATGATACGGCGACCACCGAGATCTACAC-CTCTCTAT-TCGTCGGCAGCGTC+gene_specific_Primer

    Compared to Nextera adapters, my primers do not include the tagmentation sequence. I tried to look up Miseq sequencing primers, but still not sure whether my adapters are compatible with Miseq sequencing primers.

    Can I use default sequencing primers in Miseq cartridge for sequencing? Does anybody know any website or document to verify that?

    My guess is that you cannot use the "default" sequencing primers with your scheme.

    You appear to have directly attached your gene-specific primer sequence directly to the i5 and i7 illumina indexing primers and therefore lack the sequencing primer binding site, which is actually contained within the Nextera transposase sequence.

    Pages 3 and 4 of the following Illumina document might help you:

      Thanks a lot for your reply.
      Are there any document/post(s) mention that "the sequencing primer binding site is actually contained within the Nextera transposase sequence"?

        You are right!

          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...

          Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
          by GATTACAT
          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.
