Hi, I'm writing my thesis and I'm trying to figure out what is the probability of sequencing a read once you put it into the 454. I know that you will loose some reads at emPCR step and then in the sequencing. So the question is if I feed the 454 with 1 million reads how many will probably be sequenced?

Hi aleferna,
Copying from a paper "Using only one nanogram of fragmented DNA, we prepared ... 53.6 millions Y library molecules, which is sufficient for 10 Titanium runs (4 million enrichment beads to yield 1 million high quality reads per run) for Roche 454 Titanium sequencing".
If you have 1M library molecules, beads recovery around 70 ~ 90%, one fourth beads being sequenced, you might end up around 200,000 reads.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM
