  • Discrepancy in paired-end Illumina data

    I have a variety of paired end data sets from Illumina and these are some of their sequence lengths:
    Read1 Read2
    103 110
    103 107
    101 101
    98 107
    Can anyone explain to me, why read1 and read2 have different sequence lengths for some datasets?
    Thanks,
    Vishal

    It's pretty unusual to get this from a standard Illumina run (you can make up a custom recipe to do it though).

    Could the samples have had custom barcodes on the front of the first read, which have been stripped before returning the sequence to you?
