    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!

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

          Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
