I would like to sequence genomes from 2 different organisms using Illumina Miseq. one is Staph. aureus of about 2.8Mbp and the other is a virus of about 13Kb. Is it okay to pool this samples after library preparation and run them in one flow cell? What are the pros and cons?

Sure. You will need to index (tag) the samples so the reads can be separate after the run. -
Yes, I will index the samples, but I was wondering if there is any effect of having different sizes of genomes pooled together. Will the larger be 'sequenced more' than the smaller or will they get equal representation in the final output? Is there a cut-off of or guideline of what kinds of genomes you can pool together?
I am new at this so it may seem like a silly question...Comment

The number of reads for each library is dependent on loading not the genome size. Pooling libraries with same fragment length distribution should output reads in proportion to loading. If the library (not genome) sizes are different, then with equal loading more of shorter libraries will be sequenced.
You can pool many types of libraries in one run if the sequencing configuration is similar.Comment

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...Today, 07:48 AM -
The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
