Hello, my ddRAD libraries (mean 550 pb) contain the first 5 identical bases at their ends, belonging to the partial restriction site. They will be paired-end sequenced in a MiSeq. I would like to modify the Illumina sequencing primers by adding those 5 bases at the 3 prime end of each primer. Thus, a higher diversity is expected in the first sequenced bases and also an adequate cluster generation. Does anyone have experience with this approach? and the use or not, and its PhiX concentration. Thank you. Best regards.

It could work - however you will not be able to sue the PhiX libraries as spike in since you will can't use the Illumina sequencing primers together with your extended versions. -
Thank you. It is right. So the question is what can work best. 1) Use modified primers to bypass the restriction site or 2) use a high concentration of PhiX (how much?).Comment

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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
