    Hi Koen,

    I am wondering the same thing. Please if you have any information of some labs that have already tried this methodology please let me know. In our lab we are thinking of a pilot project using Illumina for amplicon sequencing. But I would like to know if there is some body that have tryied and pros and cons of the technique, actually for me is strange that no-body has published about this issue.

    Thanks for you post and looking forward for any help

    started a topic sequencing microsatellites

    sequencing microsatellites

    Dear all,

    I was wondering if any of you have information on sequencing microsatellite repeats (amplicons) on a 454 platform.

    Essentially, I would like to get some information on the accuracy when sequencing microsatellite amplicons. Do you get the two alleles (e.g. heterozygotes) in equal proportions or do you get a distribution of several repeat lengths due to pcr-errors? If so, what kind of coverage (50x, 100x) do you need to estimate the "correct" alleles?
    And is there any difference between di-, tri, tetra or penta-repeats as you would expect?

    I would be gratefull if any of you could point me to some papers on this topic or share your experience.
    Thanks!

    Note: I do not ask for info on how to use 454 seq to develop new microsats. There are plenty of papers on that.

    Quality Control Essentials for Next-Generation Sequencing Workflows
    by seqadmin




    Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all the way through to data analysis. This article outlines the key QC steps in an NGS workflow, along with the commonly used tools and techniques.
