minimum nucleotide in a cluster of the illumina sequencing to get stable signals

Hi All,

minimum nucleotide in a cluster of the illumina sequencing to get stable signals? I mean, one template will form a cluster by bridge-duplication. I wonder what's the minimum nucleotide or duplication NGS need to get stable image information to provided A,T,C,G?

Best regards,

illumina cluster

Hi Daniel, Thank you so much for your tips. I have got the answer from the link you shared with me. "In contrast to normal PCR all solutions are used only for one cycle and then go to trash. It helps to keep low background. Otherwise occasionally detached DNA molecule could have a chance to hybridize in another place and start a new cluster there. Surface PCR has lower efficiency if compare with PCR in solution. 35 cycles result in ~1000 copies of the original molecule (in ideal PCR 35 cycles should give ~1010x amplification). The possible reasons of lower efficiency"
