  • Nextseq500 N's from position 25

    Hi,
    I've been seeing a lot of Nextseq500 runs lately and I found a very disturbing phenomenon. In a lot of the runs I start seeing a lot of N's from cycle 25 onward. The FastQC looks like this:

    This example is extreme but I see it in a lot of cases and it's always from cycle 25.
    Any clue?

    Have you contacted illumina tech support since they are likely going to be able to remotely look at your data and see what could be going wrong.

    That said, are these low complexity/amplicon type libraries?

      I didn't try to contact them yet, I'm trying to see if it's common or related to the library construction first. The libraries have a 9 bp barcode and they are bacterial rRNA depleted transcriptomes so they should have good complexity.

        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...
