I know only a little about Illumina's sequencing. Is it possible to use custom primers in Illumina's flow channel? Anybody know how their primer is attached to the polyacrylamide coating?

It isn't too hard. It's best to just make your oligos as similar as possible to Illumina's own. You should probably refer to this earlier thread on how to design the primers and adapters:

I think the question is whether the oligos attached to the flow cell can be customized. Unfortunately, that is not possible.Comment

I looked at Illumina's method and it seems like a big pain, especially if you're not Illumina. I bet Illumina wouldn't like it either. Let us know if you're ever successful.Comment

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 -
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...
