    Split seq data based on index AND barcode

    Dear all,

    I am currently designing an experiment, where my samples will have both a barcode and an index.
    Barcode: Sample-specific
    Index: Reaction-specific (here: ChIP reaction)

    So I might have X samples with each a unique barcode pooled together with the same index (A). And then Y samples with each a unique barcode pooled together with the same index (B).

    Can anyone advice me on the best way to perform demultiplexing on this type of data?

    I will specify the index on the sample sheet (here A or B), but then how to get the reads that are sample-specific, that is what I don't know how to do.

    I am hoping to get help to find an established tool for this.

    (sequencing will be done on MiSeq, HiSeq and/or NovaSeq)

    Could you describe where your barcodes/indices are located in the Illumina reads?
    In the index reads (i5 and i7) or in-line with the forward and reverse sequence reads?

      Once you separate your sample pools based on Illumina demultiplexing you can then use a tool called sabre to demultiplex individual samples from the pool.

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

        Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

        There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
