    Questions on High% Dot+Mixed and library cpb

    Hi all, I need some advices on my run result from the experts!

    Here is the data I got from GS Processer (ran with full amplicon processing pipeline):
    Raw Wells 209258
    KeyPass Wells 201705
    Passed Filter Wells 40695
    Dots 9053
    Mixed 56744
    Short Quality 94829
    Short Primer 3
    Passed filter wells 40695
    % Dot + Mixed 32.62
    %Short 47.02
    %Passed Filter 20.18

    Then I reprocess the data using the shot-gun pipeline and got the following data:
    Raw Wells 209491
    KeyPass Wells 200961
    Passed Filter Wells 80071
    Dots 10409
    Mixed 35704
    Short Quality 74172
    Short Primer 0
    Passed filter wells 80071
    % Dot + Mixed 22.95
    %Short 36.91
    %Passed Filter 39.84

    The first one is relating to a high number on %Dot + Mixed. Compared to previous runs, the percentages of these two filters have significantly increased (6% to 32%), especially in the "mixed" filter, increased from 4000 to 56000 (full processing) and 35700(shot-gun processing), does it mean that there are too many short DNA fragments per bead as the short % was also high?

    Then, I re-looked at the quantification and noticed I did not put my amplicon length into account when calculating the concentration of the library and have overestimated by 3-fold. So my input library has in fact reduced by 3-fold! Will this be the reason of a low number of passed filter wells (40695(full); 80071 (shot-gun))? Usually how much of %enrichment and number of reads will be affected when adjusting the cpd + 3 fold?

    However, if my input library cpb has been reduced by 3-fold, theoretically, I would have expected my result generated from an input of 0.3 molecules of library cpb (was using 1cpb to set up my emPCR), however my results seem suggesting I have too much DNA fragments per bead? Can anyone see which part of the procedure may have gone wrong therefore contributing to this result? Many Thanks!!!!!

    I have also run a library that was supplied too dilute, (10E8 not 10E9) and experienced high mixed reads. I would have expected better quality sequence. Can anyone explain this?

      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.
