  • Reason for POOR per tile sequence quality

    We recently performed a sequencing run on the MiSeq sequencer using a V3 (600 cycle kit).

    With regards to the per tile quality plot (obtained when using the FastQC analysis software) for one of our samples, it seems as though there is a large area that is flagged in red for R2, indicating that those tiles had worse qualities.

    I was just wondering on possible reasons why this would happen and how it could be prevented in future runs?

    Thanks!

    Looks like there is a problem with imaging one of the flowcell surfaces...

    It looks like there is a problem with imaging one of the flowcell surfaces...

    Either focusing issue (Z axis lens mover in a need of some cleaning/re greasing/calibration) or lots of very small bubbles (if it is an upper surface) (but then they would affect the other surface with such width.

    Also check tile thumbnail images, and contact illumina if this instrument is on service contract.

    You can also try making movie from thumbnail jpg images using image magic and some scripting...

      2xxx tiles are on the bottom surface. I concur with the possibilities raised by Markiyan. Looks like it started somewhere around cycle 35. Definitely a call to tech support is in order.

        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...
