    Help with ideas for barcode screw up

    Got any sequencing wizards out there? Undergrad barcoded 10x 96 well 16S amplicon plates for a miSeq muliplex run with the same set of Nextera barcodes for all the plates. Ideas other than starting over?
    I'm wondering if I can ligate another barcode with a different adapter sequence for a hiSeq (like UD) so each plate has a unique barcode then each well would have an its x,y combination.

    You'd likely run into some nasty color balance issues just trying to add on an external adapter, and who knows what would happen during clustering with internal P5/P7.

    Then you're especially stuck on a MiSeq. The cartridge premixes all of the sequencing primers, so you'd be reading out the gibberish combination of both two read primers simultaneously.

    Best I could suggest is doing some extra amplification on your existing libraries with all new index sequences (enough that they'd become the majority of molecules, but not too much that you risk the relative abundance in the library). Then you can use only the new indexes in your sample sheet and the overlapping index reads will get sent to the unidentified reads fastq. You'd probably lose some sequencing capacity, but may still be worth it depending on the sample value and other concerns.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      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

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
