I would like to sequence genomes from 2 different organisms using Illumina Miseq. one is Staph. aureus of about 2.8Mbp and the other is a virus of about 13Kb. Is it okay to pool this samples after library preparation and run them in one flow cell? What are the pros and cons?

Yes, I will index the samples, but I was wondering if there is any effect of having different sizes of genomes pooled together. Will the larger be 'sequenced more' than the smaller or will they get equal representation in the final output? Is there a cut-off of or guideline of what kinds of genomes you can pool together?
I am new at this so it may seem like a silly question...

The number of reads for each library is dependent on loading not the genome size. Pooling libraries with same fragment length distribution should output reads in proportion to loading. If the library (not genome) sizes are different, then with equal loading more of shorter libraries will be sequenced.
You can pool many types of libraries in one run if the sequencing configuration is similar.

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...-
