Hello, my name is James Groot. I've used these forums as a place to read opinions about equipment and discussions about troubleshooting and decided I'd make an account to be able to contribute to the discussions. I'm working with the Miseq and Nextseq systems (but mostly miseq). We're currently starting up microbiome work. Soon I'll also be working with the Minion.

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.
