Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of nucleic acid sequencing, in particular to a method and primers for detecting index sequence contamination of a sequencing platform. Background technique
[0002] In the process of nucleic acid sequencing, especially for some genomes with relatively large sequencing volumes, it is usually necessary to construct multiple sub-libraries, each sub-library contains one or more index sequences (index in English), and the sequencing results are analyzed according to different index sequences. Split to get the complete genome sequence.
[0003] However, when the data is split, index pollution occasionally occurs, that is, additional index sequences that are not designed in each sub-library appear, which means that the sequencing platform has index sequence pollution. The contamination of index sequences directly affects the results of data splitting and the accuracy of sequencing results. Therefore, it is necess...
