  • 16S metagenomics on MiSeq

    I will be doing MiSeq run for 16S metagenomics. it will be my first time. Recently some MiSeq v3 300 PE runs gave me trouble and hence I am worried. Are there any things I should do differently from what the 16S protocol says. Illumina asks to spike at 25%, should it be that high.

    What other things should be taken into consideration while preparing the libraries. I will have at least 96 samples. Can I pool all on PE 300 v3. Please advise and provide feedback/suggestions, anything and everything there can be for this kind of run.

    Thanks in advance

    There are a ton of threads discussing issues with the 2x300 v3 kits:
    Bridged amplification & clustering followed by sequencing by synthesis. (Genome Analyzer / HiSeq / MiSeq)

      Yes, there are. For starters, absolutely do not use the v3 300PE kits for 16S amplicons. Stick to the v2 PE250 runs.

      5-10% PhiX spike-in is sufficient.

        I've had to go to 20% phix for 16S runs otherwise R2 is horrible.
        Microbial ecologist, running a sequencing core. I have lots of strong opinions on how to survey communities, pretty sure some are even correct.
