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?

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.

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

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

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...-
