    Index sequences

    Hi All

    I recently got RNA seq data sequenced on Illumina, which is of single sample run on single lane. When I checked the RNA seq reads which are 94 bp in length, in RNA seq header I find that it contains 6 types of index sequences and one of the index sequence is 94% of total reads and other reads contains 5 types of different index sequences.

    My question is that, is it possible that you run the same sample with different types of index sequences? But does it make sense.

    I checked in the other sequences reads (5%) by mapping the reads to a reference genome, I find those reads coming from the sample which was send for sequencing from the same sample. So why the company ran the sample with so many index sequences. Can some one help me understand this question.

    Best Regards

    You will have to ask your sequence provider for an explanation.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      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

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
