Hi All,

I want to resequence a bacterial genome and do reference based assembly. As per the available literature, I came to know that Illumina NextTerra protocal uses tagmentation for DNA fragmentation and generate random sequences of ~300 nt length. In this case, what should be my sequencing layout 2x250 paired end or 2x150 paried-end sequencing.

As I have to generate reference based assembly does this overlapping 2x250 will provide extra edge or 2x150 will give be enough as it will cover 300 nt insert?

Please provide your valuable suggestions so that I can plan my experiment accordingly.

Thanking you.
