  • Frankenstein MiSeq 2x400bp runs

    Has anyone tried running beyond the 2x250bp "official" capacity of the MiSeq? We worked with a sequencing collaborator who hacked together a 2x250 run before the reagents were available by unofficially (although aided by Illumina tech support) pooling a 2x150 and a 1x100 cartridge. Any idea if pooling of a 2x250 and a 2x150 is possible, allowing early access to the supposedly upcoming 2x400 run?

    I'm not sure you would want to try that yet.

    see posts below.

      2 x 250 runs are not stably working (in our hands) as yet. Perhaps others have had better luck. No problems getting sequence, it is the decline in quality over the later cycles.

      Hopefully this is just teething troubles that will get sorted out over time.

      If you have the time (and money) to try the 2 x 400, go right ahead. Let us know what happens.

        Is this with a hardware-upgraded instrument? Does going to lower loading densities appear to help?

          "Illumina are testing 400bp single-end reads in R&D on the MiSeq, with the longest achieved overlapping paired-read of 678bp"

          I think I read somewhere that it was around 80% >Q20 @ 400bp

            Yes. Our instrument has received the hardware upgrade.

            Not sure. v.1. runs (2 x 25 bp) are looking fine, it is the v.2. runs (2 x 250 bp) that seem to be the problem. We have done two long runs so far (one sample and one phiX).

            We are working with illumina at the moment. This may be a specific issue with our instrument. We shall see.

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
