  • RTA v2.8 : Conflicts with low complexity sequence

    We routinely use an in-line barcoding system with bases 1-4 as variable barcode nucleotides and base 5 is a mandatory T in all indexed libraries.
    We have run several such libraries under RTA 2.6 using a PhiX lane to call thresholds. An Illumina tech support suggested this might now be a problem with RTA v2.8 as it used the first 5 nucleotides to threshold rather than the first 4 that RTA2.6 used. Even with a PhiX lane for thresholding they are worried that our low complexity start to all our reads might now cause a conflict.

    Anyone else using low complexity reads in RTA 2.8 ?. Any problems over RTA 2.6 ?

    Hi Nickp,
    A little bit late but 2.8 sounds wrong, the current versions are only 1.9

    cheers.

      This is indeed concerning. We synthesized our in-line barcoding reagents to have the first 4 bases be randomized followed by our less complex sequences.

      Let us all know if you have any issues going forward with the 4 base randomization and the new RTA?

        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...
