    Exome Sequencing on NextSeq500

    We are planning to run human exomes on Illumina's Nextseq and I just wanted to confirm that I got some details right.

    We will use the TruSight One and Rapid Capture Kits and I have a small question about dual indexing.

    We aim to pool 12 whole exomes (Nextera Rapid Capture) or 36 clinical exomes (TruSight One) on one Nextseq 500 High Output 2X150 run.

    So for the first case, I would use single index sequencing (12x index 1 primer = N701- N712) and for the second case I would use dual indexing (12 i7 x 3 i5).

    My understanding is, that in both cases, each reaction needs to have a i7 and a i5 primer, but in single indexing the i5 is just not read. Is that correct or is the i5 optional for single indexing (I doubt it)? So the only difference in setting up the run would be to add the BP13 (index 2 primer mix) to the reagent cartridge and choose dual indexing in the run parameters in Basespace.

    thx

    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.
