Hi everybody, I'm new in Illumina MiSeq, I have one question, what is the meaning of to do a previous balancing of the run of a multiplexing library by mean of nanoflow cells. In a process in my institution will be used a previous step of balancing using a nanoflow cell, and after this will be done the sequencing process using a full flow cell run. I don't understand why the previews process using the nanoflow cell could balancing the run?

I guess what your institution is doing is using a short MiSeq run to check the evenness of multiplexed pools. So for example if there is a 10 sample pool they would be looking to see of each sample gets about 10% of the total number of reads. The data would also be useful to look at other things like insert sizes and screening for contaminants like rRNA in RNA-Seq libraries. While this may be helpful to troubleshoot a bad library, it's usefulness diminishes as the level of multiplexing goes up since it would be very difficult to re-adjust any one particular sample with precision.

Hi ramarquezo, kcchan, yes that is indeed what we typically do here at UTS. Prep lots of libraries, QC them by generating a little bit of data on a nano flowcell, then balance them precisely for a subsequent full flowcell run. ramarquezo, feel free to swing by my office and introduce yourself sometime if you have more questions!

The complexity of cancer is clearly demonstrated in the diverse ecosystem of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The TME is made up of numerous cell types and its development begins with the changes that happen during oncogenesis. “Genomic mutations, copy number changes, epigenetic alterations, and alternative gene expression occur to varying degrees within the affected tumor cells,” explained Andrea O’Hara, Ph.D., Strategic Technical Specialist at Azenta. “As...-
