    Selection of indexes

    Hi,
    How to select an optimal set of indexes from different library prep kits to design a sequence run?
    An example: I am about to prepare libraries and sequence 40 samples prepared with XT dual indexing and 21 libraries prepared with single indexes (ScriptSeq).
    Given a set of 8 i7 indexes from the XT libraries the task is to select a set 21 index among 48 available that will differ on at least two positions relative to the 8 i7 indexes.
    It is quite tedious and error-prone to do this manually.
    Does anyone have a piece of script to do this?
    Or how do you select an optimal set of indexes?
    Cheers,
    /Jakob

    Hi again,
    I have made a small R script (attached, "compare_index_Rscript.txt") to compare two lists of indexes (equal index length) and return the number of different positions per combination - thereby making it possible to select the most diverse sets.
    Cheers,

      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.
