  • Paired-end & shotgun reads

    Hi there

    Can anyone help me with this conundrum? Roche state in a flyer that you should be able to sequence E. coli (~4mb) using only the 8kb paired-end protocol to 20x coverage on a 1/4 plate, suggesting you can get 320mb of data from an entire run/picotiterplate.

    However, the table in Roche technical bulletin TCB-09008 seems to suggest you only get 100mb per run when using the 8kb-library.

    Can anyone guide as to the reason for the discrepancy?

    Cheers

    Nick.

    Nick,

    Yes, that bulletin does seem a bit confusing. But my read on that whole section is that they want you to prepare several different PE libraries from the same starting material and collect a limited amount of sequence from each of those libraries to avoid oversampling a single library. I interpret the 100Mbp number as the amount of data you should collect from any single 8kbp span library, not how much a run would produce. They do say in that section that for small genomes (<5Mbp) a single 8kbp library is sufficient to yield enough data.

      Thanks. Makes sense. So should I assume that a plate of 8kb paired-end produces the same number of reads as a standard WGS run? I realise throughput will be down a bit because of having to sequence the linker each time.

        Hi,

        I think your assumption is correct. You'd have the same number of reads, just less sequence of interest due to the linkers.

        Just curious if you've already done the 8Kb libraries for the small genome and if so, how'd it go?

          We're preparing a library at the moment and hope to run it this month, so I'll report back when we get the results ...

            Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
            by seqadmin



            Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

            Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
            by seqadmin




            Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
