I'm planning on sending out for sequencing soon using a MiSeq PE 250. I was wondering if its possible to use two Read 1 primers at once? I have a 16s sample that contains the PCR from two different primers (a general Bac and specific). Will running the sample with a Gen Bac Read 1, Specific Read 1, and their reverse Read 2 work? Or do I need to split them up into two seperate runs? I'm afraid it may cause interference.

As a general principle it will work. The stansard practice for 16S amplicon sequencing was to spike in a large amount of PhiX to provide base balance. Custom primers are used for the 16S while standard primers for the PhiX, demonstrating that libraries using different sequencing primers can be mixed in one MiSeq run.Originally posted by FNB View Post

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, detection...Yesterday, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
