  • Pooling of Nextera and NexteraXT libraries

    Hey all,

    So i was thinking, can you actually pool both nextera and nexteraXT prepd libraries on the same cycling run?
    I mean theoretically, this should be possible since both kits use the same indices and adapters (correct me if im wrong please ).
    I think the only difference is that the NexteraXT is tailored for lower input and that is it - am i correct?

    Let me know what you think. Im leaning towards trying it out this week.
    Best,
    EXo

    Hi,
    Since i don't use the beads normalization step in Nextera XT, I follow like a Nextera protocol. The difference its correlated with the genome complexity and size, p ex: Human genomes vs small and amplicons. And input sample.

      Yea, I also skip the beads normalization step in the NexteraXT protocol. But would pooling of library A (done with Nextera) and library B (done with NexteraXT) on the same seqeuncing run effect the demultiplexing of the run? Since in the sample sheet you have to chose either Nextera or xt..

        Several times I pooled Nextera and Nextera XT libraries and didn´t have any problem, but in both cases I started from full-length cDNA derived from single cells.

          There's no problem with sample sheet, my last run I had 2 16S experiment and 2 regular nextera xt experiment, and I put everything like a Nextera XT assay.
          In the end the only important thing its molarity.
          This is the way I think..... if I'm not correct just say!

              I may be misreading your statement, but I don't think Nextera kit and Nextera XT index are interchangeable. They are different! I mistakenly once used Nextera's and Miseq failed even to start the 1st cycle of the run!
              Otherwise, if libraries were prepared using appropriate index, I think they can be part of the same run.

                If you prepare your library with Nextera sample prep kit+ Nextera index kit (or the XT sample prep kit + XT index kit) and THEN you pool the samples there is absolutely no problem, at least on a HiSeq 2000.

                  Alright perfect, and that would not interfere with the adaptor trimming option on the MiSeq right? Assuming that i select "nextera" in my sample sheet.

                    I would recommend you then to choose "Generate FASTQ" workflow and analyze data using a third-party software by yourself.
                    I have a small experience with CLC Genomic Workbench and on it I manually enter adapter sequences to be used later on when trimming my sequences. I want to point out that I have never pooled both libraries together, so if you try it, please share your experience with us.

                      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...
