Yes, I too have high amount of reads with unexpected index. That particular adaptor was never used in making the libraries.

Have you talked with the facility that generated the data or are you running this in-house? Are rest of the samples ok (with the exception of this unexpected tag)?Comment

We are running this in- house. Other reads look OK, but how and why would I end up with so he high number of unexpected index reads in "undetermined bin". And how trustworthy are the other reads, that the big question.
As I am new to this ngs... I might be misunderstanding some of the things.Last edited by parulagwl; 12-03-2014, 05:20 PM.Comment

Others who have run their samples in house, do not seem to have this issue, so what is wrong with my libraries.Comment

"In-house" part of the question was to clarify how much of this process did you do yourself? Libraries, pooling and actual run, everything?
If other samples are ok (and you were in control of the process end-to-end) then this may just be a one-time contamination issue. You probably picked up that contaminating library at some point in the process.
What fraction of undetermined reads does the contaminating sample represent and what fraction of entire output for that lane?
Have you tried to blast a few reads to see what they are. Perhaps you could track the source of contamination down.Comment

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...Today, 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
