Hello, I plan on submitting eight environmental samples for Illumina Hi seq 2000 (2X100 cycles, paired end) to look at viral communities. I've heard that there is a way to estimate how many lanes are enough with regard to the number of samples. Is one lane enough for eight samples in terms of looking at viral communities as virus has small genome size? Thanks.

You can expect to get ~200 million clusters on a HiSeq 2000 lane (provided you have good libraries) (200 mil X 100 x 2 bp total). You should be able to calculate theoretical yield of viral genomes using an average genome size to get ~viral genomes/lane. -
Here are a couple of links that should help:

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...Yesterday, 07:48 AM -
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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
