I did get the first data from a 2x260 bp run of genomic DNA. The quality of the second read was not this great - beginning from the first bases. I was lucky that my library had an average insert size of only 450 b - thus there was a huge overlap. Ea-utils fastq-join was able to merge 61% of the reads. This run generated 2x16 million reads.

A few pictures regarding v2 quality are attached from our phiX control run (2x250bp). However, when we tried to use our inhouse amplicon products, we got quite ugly results...Last edited by Vinz; 09-17-2012, 05:49 AM.

These are some pictures showing the quality of our first run (2x250 bp and 2 indices) where we tried to do amplicon sequencing. The same library had been run with the 300 kit successfully giving nice reads and good Q values.
I was told there was not enough diversity. We will give it a try and spike in more phiX. But I am not sure this is the only problem. The constructs are based on the published TrueSeq sequences. A second run went even worse... Any feedback is appreciated.

Our run looked better, but not as good as I hoped for. Attached is a plot of the 2nd 260 bp read (the reverse read). (There should have been no complexity related problem with this library.)Attached Files

Did you not get the sticker for your machine that says "I have been upgraded".

You may wish to invest in a phiX run. It can potentially save you time down the road.
Our upgraded MiSeq (which had passed optical tests), required a service call because a phiX run (done after the fact due to quality issues with samples) did not pass illumina quality standards.

Our Miseq will be updated next week, customer service said us that they don't make any Phix control run, only optic tests. Is there the same in your lab?

Ours didn't have a verification run (it was OK after the first run, too). They don't do it by default. If you're worried, then you can always ask Illumina for a sequencing kit to test the machine. Otherwise, if you do the recommended PhiX spike-in on your first run (if you don't do it routinely), then you can check the quality that way. I'm sure they will service the machine and replace the reagents if it's not up to scratch.

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...-

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...-
