  • miseq custom primers

    Hello,

    Recently I had a sequencing run on Miseq with custom Read1 and Read2 primers and I’m not very happy with quality of basecalls.
    Miseq generated ~700K cluster/mm^2 but Read1 >=Q30 was 88.2% and Read2 >=Q30 71.5%

    Could it be the case of not efficient annealing of primers?
    Tm of my custom primers:
    Read1 77.6°C;
    Read2 79.3°C.

    Native illumina’s primers have following Tm’s:
    Multiplexing Read 1 Sequencing Primer
    5' ACACTCTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCT 77.5°C
    Multiplexing Read 2 Sequencing Primer
    5' GTGACTGGAGTTCAGACGTGTGCTCTTCCGATC 79.2°C
    Multiplexing Index Read Sequencing Primer
    5' GATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCTGAACTCCAGTCAC 79.2°C


    My custom primers have almost the same temp. properties.

    Do you guys have any ideas or recommendations how custom primers should be designed?


    Thank you very much!

    I wrote a blog on it here, when I was looking at doing this.

    If you do a search on this forum you should find several threads talking about just this.

      Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
      by seqadmin


      The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
