The PhiX sequencing control is not required for runs where the library pool is well-balanced in terms of base diversity, such as whole-genome and RNA-seq libraries; however, Illumina recommends spiking at least 1% PhiX into the library pool as a sequencing control and in order to obtain the error rate metric.
