I got two 16s rRNA data set back from sequence center for a sample for metagenomics project. one set from the FLXA side (> 200 bp) and another set from FLXB side (> 200 bp)
We only have one primer set(F/R).
Because I couldn't understand the process how did they do the bidirection sequencing, I asked them.
They said they have retrofitted and barcoded the selected amplicon samples with
Titanium adaptors and sequenced the whole pool. The retro-fit approach for amplicons implies they can sequence from both sides. They pool the retro-fitted reactions (AA-BB, AB-AB) together in a region.
Could someone explain what does this mean for me?

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...03-24-2025, 11:48 AM -
This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.
