I am preparing total RNA samples from rat brain tissue to look at differential gene expression (single read, 1x50). HighSeq3000 allows for 300 million reads. I am wondering if I can use one lane for 23 samples, with the assumption that each sample will yield approximately 12 million reads.

Take a look at this thread for some background. Since HiSeq 3000 runs patterned flowcells you should consider this. Best option would be to dual index your samples and clean your libraries of adapter contamination.
12M reads per sample is not enough for DE with a mammalian genome.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
