  • longest nextseq read length

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if anyone has any idea/experience regarding what the max read length in 1 direction for a nextseq run might be? For example, the 300 cycle kit recommends 2x150, but has anyone tried greater than 150 in 1 direction?

    One can setup asymmetric runs (know for sure with MiSeq, assume it is the same with NextSeq). So it should be possible to run 300 cycles in one direction if that is what you want. Probably would not be ideal in terms of Q-scores towards the end of the cycles.

      I'm not sure whether it's possible to do >150bp runs on the NextSeq, but I am sure that I wouldn't want to go much longer.



      This is a recent run on our NextSeq. Read 1 hits a 1.4% error rate on cycle 150, which is tolerable. But at that point the error rate is increasing by 50% every 30 bases, so it would be projected to hit 2.1% at 180bp, 3.15% at 210 bp, and >10% at 300bp.

        Yep, you can do asymmetrical runs on the NextSeq. I don't know about the length question (sorry - my run was 50/26). I *have* seen that as the sequencing proceeds, the quality goes down, so I'd be really interested to see what you get if you go for 300 cycles! Good luck.

          Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
          by seqadmin


          The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin




          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...
