  • Nextseq500 N's from position 25

    Hi,
    I've been seeing a lot of Nextseq500 runs lately and I found a very disturbing phenomenon. In a lot of the runs I start seeing a lot of N's from cycle 25 onward. The FastQC looks like this:

    This example is extreme but I see it in a lot of cases and it's always from cycle 25.
    Any clue?

    Have you contacted illumina tech support since they are likely going to be able to remotely look at your data and see what could be going wrong.

    That said, are these low complexity/amplicon type libraries?

      I didn't try to contact them yet, I'm trying to see if it's common or related to the library construction first. The libraries have a 9 bp barcode and they are bacterial rRNA depleted transcriptomes so they should have good complexity.

        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 on Modified Bases...

        Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
        by seqadmin


        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...
