Hi all. On a different note...I do not really understand how one is supposed to combine the N7 and S5 primers in the QIAseq Targeted DNA Panel. Do they have to be combined in a TruSeq-like fashion? So different N7s dispensed by rows and different S5s dispensed by columns?

Hi thiNGS,
To combine N7## adapter and S5## index primer in 96-well format, yes different N7## dispensed by rows and different S5## dispensed by columns.Comment

Hi everyone,
our genetic testing software 'Seamless NGS' offers an easy-to-use workflow for the analysis of Qiagen's QiaSeq panels.
Before mapping the reads, the common sequence and the UMIs are clipped away. After mapping, the UMIs sequences are properly used to correct for PCR clones and the single amplicon primer is clipped away to ensure correct and unbiased variant calling. The workflow was developed, tested and validated together with a trustworthy pathological laboratory at one of the oldest university hospitals in Germany. Having long-lasting experience in that field, together with them, ecSeq was able to get the most out of the QiaSeq panel.
If you are interested in our solution, please check www.seamless-ngs.com and/or write us a short email ([email protected]) to make an appointment for a personal live demo (online).

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.

Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.
Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...05-06-2026, 09:04 AM
