We got one run with good 48 cycles of data, with the older kits, but now, we get more like 40.
You may set up with max cycle of your best guess, but if reagents ran out, it will pump air into the system.
Regarding super long read, we are routinely getting 2 x 88 and now moving onto 2 x 108 (35 +35+36)

Index - 36+7
Hi,
the illumina protocol for multiplex recommends 36 + 7 cycles and to buy the sequencing kit for 36 cycles plus the sequencing kit for 18 cycles. What do you think about that? Do you think it is posible to do the read1 and the index read with an unique sequencing kit for 36 cycles? I'm talking about GAII.
Thanks

We get 42bp from a 36 kit and run that routinely. It is just possible to get a multiplex index from a kit if you are doing a 36bp run but safer to top up with some leftover reagent from another kit (as long as it has not been sitting around obviously).
I still have not had any confirmation on the format of the next kits and was under the impression that Ilumina would just sell 18, 36 and 50bp kits. If you want longer then combine kits is what we were told. My preference woud be for 150bp in a bottle to put on the instrument and then just run samples until it runs out. However we do not have a gap between flowcells.
I had also heard about the shorter-cycle chemistry, but I did not think it was ready yet. There are two changes coming; one will be a high-fidelity polymerase to increase the quality of sequencing, the other is a faster sequencing enzyme which allows each cycle to decrease by 20-30%. Three flow cells a week are coming!
I am interested to hear what other people have to say.
James.

With those longer reads - how is the quality of bases at the end of the reads.
With 50 bp reads we throw out bases 45-50. What is happening with 75 bp reads?
- 0.5% of the reads are completely unusable
- 5.5% need a left trim
- 20% need a right trim
Which means that a bit less than 75% of all reads are error free on the whole length.
Trimming removes overall ~6.5% of all bases.
After trimming
- ~90% of all reads map without error to the reference
- ~7% map with one error
- ~1.2% map with two errors
- the remaining map with more errors (or not at all)

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

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...-
