  • 16S metagenomics on MiSeq

    I will be doing MiSeq run for 16S metagenomics. it will be my first time. Recently some MiSeq v3 300 PE runs gave me trouble and hence I am worried. Are there any things I should do differently from what the 16S protocol says. Illumina asks to spike at 25%, should it be that high.

    What other things should be taken into consideration while preparing the libraries. I will have at least 96 samples. Can I pool all on PE 300 v3. Please advise and provide feedback/suggestions, anything and everything there can be for this kind of run.

    Thanks in advance

    There are a ton of threads discussing issues with the 2x300 v3 kits:
    Bridged amplification & clustering followed by sequencing by synthesis. (Genome Analyzer / HiSeq / MiSeq)

      Yes, there are. For starters, absolutely do not use the v3 300PE kits for 16S amplicons. Stick to the v2 PE250 runs.

      5-10% PhiX spike-in is sufficient.

        I've had to go to 20% phix for 16S runs otherwise R2 is horrible.

          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...
