    Library insert size

    Hi There,

    I am aiming to sequence bacterial genome with NexteraXT 300bp paired-end reads. I have made my library and all the fragments size (including the adapter) are ranging from 200-650 (I check with the bioanalyzer and gel). Do you think that I will have sufficient insert size in the end? Do you think that I will have good insert size for clustering on the MiSeq platform (using Nextera v3 chemistry)?

    Would be very helpful of your suggestions here!

    Cheers,

    Shimul

    Insert sizes will be around 50-500 bp and most of sequenced fragments will be from shorter inserts and their abundance will depend on size distribution of library fragments. Library should cluster and sequence fine but you will not benefit from the long reads. To sequence larger fragments library fragments should be 600-1500 bp.

        Hello,

        I am finally running of my sample on the Miseq using MiSeq V3. I have checked the machine now and it shows that after 70 cycles, the >=Q30 is 96%, cluster passing filter 91.4%, and the cluster density is 1092K/mm.

        Do you think that the run is going well?

        Hope to hear back from you soon again!

        Cheers,

        Shimul

          Those numbers are good, so the run is probably going well.

              @Shimul, it is not necessary to post the same question multiple times on the forum. Your run metrics look good.

                Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

                I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

                Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
