AVITI vs Illumina - Replicate Concordance

Hello everyone,

I am running a simple denoising DADA2 pipeline for a panel of amplicon(s). I got the same samples but sequenced with different platform i.e. Aviti and Illumina. I am curious about their technical replicate concordance rate because afterwards I merge the replicates.

Aviti has consistently lower concordance (54% in this case) than Illumina (74%). I would like to know if this is the expected behavior OR is it recommended to adjust the params of DADA2 accordingly for each sequencing tech?

I am using these parameters for DADA2:

  • "maxEE": "5,5",
  • "trimRight": "0,0",
  • "minLen": 30,
  • "truncQ": "5,5",
  • "max_consist": 10,
  • "omegaA": 1e-120,
  • "matchIDs": 1,
  • "justConcatenate": 0,
  • "saveRdata":"",
  • "qvalue": 5,
  • "length": 20

The reason I got curious about this is that my main dataset sequenced via AVITI has a concordance rate of just 15%.

Thank you for any input/solution/guidance! :-)

I got the same samples but sequenced with different platform i.e. Aviti and Illumina.

So every sample library has been sequenced on both platforms? I am not familiar with Aviti but does it require any additional mods or can the Illumina libraries be used as is. If the answer is yes, you may have a uniqe dataset that not many are likely to have.

Can you explain what do you exactly mean by concordance? Is the number of cycles of sequencing identical on both platforms?
