The BioMicro Center can modify Illumina ready libraries by using the p5 and p7 flow cell binding sequences to attach Singular S1 and S2 flow cell binding sequences.  However, this process leaves behind a 16 bp portion of the p5/p7 sequences requiring a different set of primers that will compete with the onboard S1 and S2 index primers.  Like custom runs, these requests are rare and must be run on an entire flow cell.

SUBMISSION

Compared to a typical Illumina library, a Singular index 1 would be the reverse compliment of the i5 index, whereas index 2 would be the reverse compliment of the i7 index.

Lane-by-lane Requirements[edit]

  • Must be 50 or 150 paired-end dual indexed
  • Pool must be compatible with TruSeq, Nextera, TruSeq, smRNA and Solexa sequencing primers

Minimum reads per lane are guaranteed if:

  • the BMC has performed quality control,
  • the samples are high-complexity, especially for the first 10 nt of read 1, and
  • submitted libraries are at least 2 nM.

All other requests, including use of custom sequencing primers require a full flowcell. Illumina libraries which have been converted in the Center will also require a full flowcell.

  • Min custom primer submission: 20 uL at 100 uM
