Hi everybody, I'm new in Illumina MiSeq, I have one question, what is the meaning of to do a previous balancing of the run of a multiplexing library by mean of nanoflow cells. In a process in my institution will be used a previous step of balancing using a nanoflow cell, and after this will be done the sequencing process using a full flow cell run. I don't understand why the previews process using the nanoflow cell could balancing the run?

I guess what your institution is doing is using a short MiSeq run to check the evenness of multiplexed pools. So for example if there is a 10 sample pool they would be looking to see of each sample gets about 10% of the total number of reads. The data would also be useful to look at other things like insert sizes and screening for contaminants like rRNA in RNA-Seq libraries. While this may be helpful to troubleshoot a bad library, it's usefulness diminishes as the level of multiplexing goes up since it would be very difficult to re-adjust any one particular sample with precision.

Hi ramarquezo, kcchan, yes that is indeed what we typically do here at UTS. Prep lots of libraries, QC them by generating a little bit of data on a nano flowcell, then balance them precisely for a subsequent full flowcell run. ramarquezo, feel free to swing by my office and introduce yourself sometime if you have more questions!

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...-
