PhiX spike-in employs a small amount of PhiX control (~0.5%) in the same lane as a sample. This allows real time quality metrics as the PhiX is analyzed during the run. This is not recommended for sequencing a genome with high similarity to the PhiX genome, and does not allow for normalization of data in that lane as per a control lane.
