    Sequence of PhiX MiSeq primers

    Newbie trying to track down source of failed (~10% of clusters pass filter) MiSeq amplicon sequencing run. I want to look at possible interactions between our expected sequence/custom primers with the primers used to sequence PhiX (spiked at 10% in our run). Can someone point me to the sequence of those primers? Are they based on the adapters or??
    Thanks

    How did you set up your run? Was it for custom primers or the primers included in the cartridge? Where did you put your custom primers in the cartridge?

      It was run through a central lab on campus, not by me. We have a low diversity amplicon so it was spiked with 10% PhiX. My understanding (which may well be wrong) is that our custom primers were added to the phiX primers at some ratio(??) and they were multiplexed in the run. I was curious about the sequence of the primers used to prime the phiX library and the possibility of unwanted interaction with our custom primers. Thanks for any suggestions.

        What was your cluster density for this run, and what percentage of your run aligned to phiX?

          Cluster density was 641k but only about ~10% passed filter. 55% of runs aligned to PhiX. Q score on second index run was very low and run halted before/during the second sequence run. Low score of second index is puzzling; we quantified library with qubit and then qPCR so we're reasonably sure of the quantity. Our tech did the qPCR and diluted with intent to get 800k clusters based on past experience with low diversity libraries, so he wasn't too far off. We are basically following 16s protocol (Kozich), just replacing gene-specific ends of primers with our own.

            16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
            by SEQadmin2




            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...

            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
