  • low miseq clustering after kapa library quantification

    Hi,
    Sorry if duplicating a thread.
    I have performed 2 runs now with nebnext libraries (approx 350bp in size).
    Both times I used kapa library quantity kits to quantify in triplicate over 2 dilutions (1000 & , 10000). Then I diluted multiplexed libs to total concentration of 4nm before following illumina protocol for library dilution to 15pm and loading on miseq.
    On both runs the cluttering ws low (550 and 197 pf). I checked things like naoh concentration using ph paper and that was ok.
    5% phi x was on both runs but miseq calculates final alignment of phi x as 20 and 25% respectively on each run suggesting my concentration of libraries was much lower than team 15pm I thought I loaded.
    I had small amount of adaptor dimers in one library but surely this would not cause low clustering?
    Could anyone give me suggestions on what I am doing wrong.

    Dimers cluster better than actual library. Higher ratio of PhiX indicates that it is either library itself or the quantification or both .

      Since your PhiX read percentage is 4 to 5X higher than expected, I would suggest confirming your qPCR result with Qubit to make sure that something isn't wrong there.

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin




        The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

        Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
        by seqadmin


        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...
