    Short PCR product sequencing with Miseq

    Is it possible to omit the fragmentation step of the library preperation, proceed with the rest of the steps and sequence PCR products of 90 - 450 bp using Miseq?
    I am just theorising as I have no prior experience in this but need to plan a way to sequence short PCR products woth Miseq. Any inputs are welcome.
    Thank you

    without knowing what your library prep is....MiSeq is spec'd to sequence 2x250base. So if your total product including adapters etc is below 500 bases you can sequence your product using paired ends and stitch together the over lapping sequences.
    you can in theory sequence any size fragment to to the total possible.

      Thank you very much for the reply. I wonder if anyone has attempted this modification before and if there are any publications? I tried to search for it but was not successful.

        what modification?
        Nextera library prep routinely sequences short fragments.
        Just get your PCR product and run it through the TrueSeq library prep and sequence it.
        Like I said, there are many ways to prepare a library for sequencing.

          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...

          From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
          by SEQadmin2


          Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


          The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
