    Nextseq500 N's from position 25

    Hi,
    I've been seeing a lot of Nextseq500 runs lately and I found a very disturbing phenomenon. In a lot of the runs I start seeing a lot of N's from cycle 25 onward. The FastQC looks like this:

    This example is extreme but I see it in a lot of cases and it's always from cycle 25.
    Any clue?

    Have you contacted illumina tech support since they are likely going to be able to remotely look at your data and see what could be going wrong.

    That said, are these low complexity/amplicon type libraries?

      I didn't try to contact them yet, I'm trying to see if it's common or related to the library construction first. The libraries have a 9 bp barcode and they are bacterial rRNA depleted transcriptomes so they should have good complexity.

        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
