    low miseq clustering after kapa library quantification

    Hi,
    Sorry if duplicating a thread.
    I have performed 2 runs now with nebnext libraries (approx 350bp in size).
    Both times I used kapa library quantity kits to quantify in triplicate over 2 dilutions (1000 & , 10000). Then I diluted multiplexed libs to total concentration of 4nm before following illumina protocol for library dilution to 15pm and loading on miseq.
    On both runs the cluttering ws low (550 and 197 pf). I checked things like naoh concentration using ph paper and that was ok.
    5% phi x was on both runs but miseq calculates final alignment of phi x as 20 and 25% respectively on each run suggesting my concentration of libraries was much lower than team 15pm I thought I loaded.
    I had small amount of adaptor dimers in one library but surely this would not cause low clustering?
    Could anyone give me suggestions on what I am doing wrong.

    Dimers cluster better than actual library. Higher ratio of PhiX indicates that it is either library itself or the quantification or both .

      Since your PhiX read percentage is 4 to 5X higher than expected, I would suggest confirming your qPCR result with Qubit to make sure that something isn't wrong there.

        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

        New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
        by SEQadmin2


        Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

        We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
