By default, MiSeq Reporter allows up to 1 mismatch when demultiplexing an indexed MiSeq run. Can I force the software to perform exact matches while demultiplexing the run? Is there an option that can be set in the sample sheet, for example?

Looking at the MiSeq reporter manual it does not look like there is a way to do that. Have you tried to contact illumina tech support (this may be a non-documented feature)? -
Thanks for your help, according to the Illumina tech support it is not possible. This is the answer: "MSR demultiplexes with a mismatch of 1. This is not configurable. If you'd like to demultiplex with a different mismatch, I'd advise exploring bcl2fastq1.8.4."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
