  • Whole Exome Capture

    We just finished a GAIIx 76 X 2 PE run of libraries prepared with Agilents Whole exome Sure Select kit. We analysed them using the Illumina Pipeline and aligned them to the human genome. The overall error rate was ~1% but when I look at the error plots the error rate increases rapidly to 5% starting at ~65 cycles on both reads. We looked at the RTA runtime stats charts for the quality and focus and nothing seems to go bad for either read. Has anyone using Exome Capture observed this? Could it be an alignment issue? I was wondering if we may be starting to sequence into the other adapter?
    Thanks

    Bruce,

    Your result sound quite typical to me. A rising error rate at the end of the read is expected and normal. 5% may be a little higher than I'd like but I'd be perfectly satisfied with that result. The rising error rate has to do with the falling intensity; the signal to noise ratio drops. Focus is not an issue here. Oh, and those Q values reported by RTA are complete fantasy, don't believe them.

      what about the 5 primer error rate, it seems due to primer.

        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...
