Hi all, anybody has experience with using a 0.5 nM 16s library concentration (instead of 2nM) on the MiSeq ? The NextSeq500 has this protocol (updated October 2014, so more recent) and we thought to add the 200mM TRis buffer PH 7.0 too to hydrolyse the higher NaOH concentration needed initially. Thanks

Hi NAH, Illumina TechSupp replied as such on the use of NextSeq500 protocol:
"All of Illumina platforms use isothermal amplification for clustering, and sequencing by synthesis for sequencing. So the diluting and denaturing process is similar for all platforms; with the exception of volumes and concentrations, that should be modified to meet the optimal cluster density and data yields as per the specifications of your instrument of choice.
So, yes you can use the same low concentration diluting and denaturing protocol for the MiSeq keeping in mind that the loading volumes in lower (600ul vs 1300ul), and your loading concentration should be higher (6-20pM vs 1.8pM).
For more information please see:
Preparing Libraries for Sequencing on the MiSeq http://support.illumina.com/content/...15039740-d.pdf
Denaturing and Diluting Libraries for the NextSeq 500 http://support.illumina.com/content/...-15048776d.pdf
"
So we made a 0.5 nM library now, used the 200mM Tris-HCL pH 7.0 additional step to neutralize the increased NaOH concentration and loaded all at 12 pM end concentration today (we tested 4 and 8 pM already with a bit too low clustering, 5 % PhiX) . First results 800K Clusters, so looking good ! Now waiting for the Q30 % in the next days. Illumina should update more regularly their protocols...
To be continued...

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...-
