Hi,
I have a question about term "insert-size" If |-----75----|------------------------100-----------------|-----75-----| paired-end data both 75 mer,In this example, The insert-size is 100 or 250? I am confused with fragment size Thanks Best regard! Last edited by louis7781x; 08-01-2011 at 12:51 AM. |

The insert is normally the stretch of sequence between the paired-end adapters, so in your case the insert size would be 250 bp (2x75 bp reads + 100 bp unsequenced middle piece). The fragment size (which you need to select for during a gel purification for example) would be the insert size + length of both adapters (around 120 bp extra for both Illumina adapters).

Normally sequencing starts right after the adapter but does not include adapter sequence.

The lesson is to be very clear about what is being asked or reported. |

As noted, when most analysis programs ask for an insert size, they are referring to the size of your fragment with the adapters excluded, 250bp in your case. However, some programs use the term insert size to mean the gap distance between the 3' end of the two reads (assuming standard forward/reverse orientation), which in your case is 100bp. Most programs are decently documented enough to state which version they mean when they say insert size, but you shouldn't assume that it's interchangeable. The term pair-distance is also used, and just like insert size has been taken to mean both the size of the fragment minus the adapters (250bp) or the gap distance (100bp).
For assemblies interchanging the two value won't cause huge problems, but for read mapping methods where you want to look for insertions/deletions or splice variation then inputting the correct value can be very important. |

Sorry, I am recently study some about transcription assembly. Can you tell me the meaning of Expression quintiles? Thank you very much.

P5 --- Index/Barcode1 --- Read 1 Primer --- Insert/TargetFragment --- Read 2 Primer --- Index/Barcode2 --- P7
The Insert/TargetFragment region needs to be less than the size of the base length sequencing kit you're using. For example if you use a 2 x 100 PE kit, and you require at least 20 bases of overlap from Read 1 and Read 2, your insert fragments cannot be larger than 180 bases in length. As stated above, the P5 --- Index/Barcode1 --- Read 1 Primer, and Read 2 Primer --- Index/Barcode2 --- P7 add about 120-130 bases of length onto your insert fragment (depending on the size of the index barcodes and type of read 1 and read 2 primers you have chosen). Keep in mind that others have reported/observed, and myself included, that the efficiency and success rate of the clustering step is significantly reduced when a final library template molecule is <250 or >800 bases. Thus, make sure the sum of the lengths falls between these ranges if possible. Quantitation between deletion/insertion alleles that straddle these upper and lower ranges cannot be trusted for reproducibility between different library preps (Just an FYI, personal observation). -Tom |

As for ligation type approach, my assumption is that it is probably fairly easy to subsequently accidently denature and reanneal a complex library and the adapter/read primer dimers get heterodimerized with other large complexes. The key then is to pull out the ssDNA that is the target length. PAGE purification? But yield tends to be too low. Thus, I tend to aim for a low minimal number of PCR cycles, and keeping the prepped library cool to minimize this issue. Good point to bring up! :-) -Tom |

Hi,
I am a newbie in metagenomics. I just sequenced my soil DNA samples through Illumina HiSeq2000 (2X151 bp). Now I need to assemble my sequences and for doing that I need the insert size, the minimum and maximum distance between the sequences. I asked the sequencing facility about this but they send me the bioanalyzer result which looks complicated to me. I attached the bioanalyzer result here. I will appreciate if anyone can explain this bioanalyzer result. ![]() Thanks |

Is this a case of running 2x250 on MiSeq but is getting 150-350 PE reads???

By the way, your data looks strange. And this result does not have nothing with Illumina library insertion data. Generally, the insertion size can be 180-350 bp. You better BLAST both sequences of the same id and manually check the insertion size. Last edited by sunguk; 02-06-2017 at 01:15 AM. |

The 35bp and ~10.3kb peaks, are the spike-in size standards that Bioanalyzers use for DNA high sensitivity chips. Normally TruSeq "PCR-Free" libraries will produce a range of product sizes similar to this. Of course, the longer products will fail to produce sequence-able clusters. They seem to be unable to compete with the shorter products. Of course the pure-programmers probably aren't reading this sub-forum. But to any who are: Please don't require insert sizes to run your assembler/mappers! If your algorithms really need that information, figure it out! The bioanalyzer results don't give you an accurate assessment of the insert sizes, for the reasons I describe above. So asking the lab what the average size of the inserts were is not terribly useful! -- Phillip |
