    combine individuals and pool in the same multiplex?

    I want to perform targeted resequencing of genes for SNP discovery and CNV analysis.
    I'm sequencing genes in cattle, mostly working within one breed but I'd also like to include other breed and some bovini outgroups. I'm considering the best multiplex design to maximise discovery on a limited budget.

    By indexing individuals and multiplexing them before sequencing I can assign each sequence to an individual but will need to perform as many library preparations as I have individuals.

    If I pooled individuals before carrying out a library prep I could reduce time and money on library preps but couldn't relate sequence back to an individual, I could only get allele frequencies but not genotypes.

    Has anyone ever combined both strategies in a single library?
    I'm imagining something like Barcodes 1 - 10 = Individuals 1-10
    Barcode 11 = a pool of ten individuals from a different breed.

    There would be issues about quantities of each to put in for the sequencing but has anyone tried or read about a similar strategy?

    Thank you for your help

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    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...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
