  • ddRAD/GBS lib conc on HiSeq 3000/4000 ?

    Hi all,

    Has anybody any advice on the "best" concentration (pM) to load a ddRAD or GBS libraries on a HiSeq 3000/4000 ? ddRAD have 300-600 bp, while GBS more around 250-350 bp lib sizes. I know the longer fragments of ddRAD might create a problem may be with the new chemistry/patterned flowcells.

    Also 10% Phix would be ok ?

    Cheers,

    Greg

    Hi,

    The optimal loading concentration and phiX % spike in will likely depend largely on the nucleotide sequence diversity at the start of your reads (on the HiSeq 2000 the first 12 bp is the most critical I think). Depending on how your ddRAD libraries were prepared they may be quite diverse (i.e. balanced proportions of each nucleotide at each position) or suffer from low sequence diversity. From what I read (http://support.illumina.com/sequenci...questions.html) the HiSeq 4000 still has low-diversity issues so it would be helpful if you could provide information as to how diverse the start of your reads are. A matrix of the nucleotide diversity for the first 12 bp like the one in the last post of the link below might help others give you recommendations.

    After having some run failures last year due to supposed nucleotide diversity issues on a hiseq 2000, we nearly perfect runs by adding some staggered barcodes to break up the restriction site, included a 15% phiX spike in, and clustered at 600-700K/mm^2.

      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...
