    De-multiplexing, carryover from sample with highest reads?

    Hello,
    I use in house indexes (5nt) to tag my amplicons and pool 10 such samples and subject the pooled "sample" to library prep on TruSeq without fragmentation.

    After demultiplexing for Illumina indexes on Miseq, FASTX barcode splitter is used to de-multiplex the samples to the original "samples". These reads are then aligned with Bowtie and the result we need is a proportion of reads aligned aganist a particular reference sequence.

    When the final alignment results are observed, in all samples there is a carry over of some reads from the sample with the highest number of reads to the rest of the samples in the same 10 sample pool.

    I checked to see if this is associated with any particular pattern of the in house barcodes, it is not. In all the samples, it is the reads from the sample with "highest number of reads" that are also found in other samples.

    Has anyone else experienced something similar in sample pooling and is there any other software that has a more stringent algorythm for barcode splitting.

    Not sure if the post is confusing

    There is a past thread on this topic. You can find it here: http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29110

    Illumina's official response was in post #38 in the thread above.

      Yes this is a common problem with pooling e.g. http://genomebiology.com/content/13/5/R34

      We have just had a paper accepted which outlines a method to deal with it. I could send it to you if you inbox me your email

        GenoMax, thank you, I read this earlier but more that that our problem is what Jackie has pointed out.

          Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
          by seqadmin




          The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...

          New Genomics Tools and Methods Shared at AGBT 2025
          by seqadmin


          This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.

          The Headliner
          The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...
