  • sequences proceeding Illumina adapter

    My question: If I have a a 24 nucleotide long sequence before the sequencing adapter would my DNA fragment still attach to the flow cells? Is there a specific cleavage step to remove sequences beyond the adapter before attachment to the flow cell? My additional question is: When multiplexing when does the cluster identification occur?
    Thanx for any answer.

    I can only speculate. Seems like they would still work since binding to the flowcell is a hybridization. As long as the sequence complementary to the flowcell oligo is there somewhere the flowcell oligo should still bind the DNA. There is no cleavage event, but the flowcell oligo is what is extended by the polymerase during clustering. So nothing 5' of the flowcell oligo would end up being amplified.
    Multiplexing has no impact on cluster identification. All Illumina instruments identify clusters at some point early in the first read. Index reads are always the 2nd (and in the case of dual indexes, the third) read.

      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...
