Run sample on iSeq:

Dilute to 1 nM based off qPCR results. qPCR results are in pM, but 1:1000 dilution used. The results are effectively in nM for pool.

  • 1000/Results = ul of Pool to Add

1000/25 = 40uL of Pool to Add

  • 1000 - ul of Pool to Add = ul of “10 mM Tris 8.5” to Add

1000- 40 = 960uL of 10mM Tris 8.5

Dilute 1 nM full pool to loading concentration of 50 pM:

  • Add 5 ul 1 nM Pool to 85 ul “10 mM Tris 8.5” and 10 ul 50 pM PhiX

  • Remove iSeq 100 i1 Flow Cell from refrigerator 5’s crisper drawer and open white foil pack and allow to equilibrate to RT for 10-15 minutes.

  • Open “iSeq 100 i1 Reagent Cartridge v2”. Turn on iSeq100

  • Click on “Sequence”. Watch Video. Do what video tells you to do. Follow on screen instructions until run starts.

  • Results located: Data/SequencingRuns/”folder with applicable date”/Alignment_1/Fastq/*.fastq.gz

Demux as per usual. Parese report in the same folder as the data. Parsing seemed to work well.

Curious if cross-contamination is not as bad for the one-step since there is no chance of primer and template carryover from the first PCR to the second.

Code used to determine cross-contamination:

cutadapt -g ^GTGYCAGCMGCCGCGGTAA -o R1out_no16s parsed_4AH1-1STEP_S1_L001_R1_001.fastq -e 0.25

cutadapt -g ^GGACTACHVGGGTWTCTAAT -o R2out_no16s parsed_4AH1-1STEP_S1_L001_R2_001.fastq  -e 0.25

cutadapt -g ^CTTGGTCATTTAGAGGAAGTAA -o R1out_no16s_noits R1out_no16s -e 0.25

cutadapt -g ^GCTGCGTTCTTCATCGATGC -o R2out_no16s_noits R2out_no16s -e 0.25

sed -i 's/\s/_/g' R1out_no16s_noits

sed -i 's/^>16/>rna16/' R1out_no16s_noits

sed -i 's/-/_/g' R1out_no16s_noits

Shifted to R to examine coligo table:

dat[1:5,1:5]
dim(dat)

key$reverse_barcode <- toupper(key$reverse_mid)

key$combo <- paste(key$locus, key$forward_barcode, key$reverse_barcode, key$samplename, sep = "_")

for(i in 1:length(key$combo)){
names(dat)[which(key$combo[i] == names(dat))] <- key$wellposition[i]
}

dat$OTUID <- gsub("Coligo_", "",dat$OTUID)

dat <- dat[dat$OTUID != "ISD",]

percent_target <- NA

for(i in 2:length(names(dat))){
if(dat[dat$OTUID == names(dat)[i],i] > 15){
percent_target[i] <- dat[dat$OTUID == names(dat)[i],i] / sum(dat[,i])
}

While cursory, it appears to me that cross-contamination is a bit reduced by the one-step PCR library prep. protocol. It would be of interest to do this analysis on the data for this plate that was generated using the two-step protocol (so we can compare apples to apples). I think those data are forthcoming.
