  • What are these BC files for? Should I use them in alignment?

    Hi, folks. I've started working with some old SOLiD single-ended RNA-seq reads, from 2010 and 2011. I'm using novoalignCS and have the quality files, csfasta files, and an additional fasta-like file with "BC" in the filename. Here's an example of the filenames:

    S1001938CIS_7/primary.20100713155754122/reads/
    solid0015_20100706_S1001938CIS_BC_bcSample1_F3.csfasta
    solid0015_20100706_S1001938CIS_BC_bcSample1_F3.stats
    solid0015_20100706_S1001938CIS_BC_bcSample1_F3_QV.qual
    S1001938CIS_7/primary.20100707172116543/reads/
    solid0015_20100706_S1001938CIS_BC_bcSample1_BC.csfasta

    The F3.csfasta and F3_QV.qual files are as expected, and work fine with novoalignCS.

    The BC.csfasta files have data as follows and I'm completely mystified as to what they are:

    # Wed Jul 7 11:02:39 2010 /share/apps/corona/bin/filter_fasta.pl --output=/data/results/solid0015/solid0015_20100706_S1001938CIS_BC/bcSample1/results.F1B1/primary.20100707172116543 --name=solid0015_20100706_S1001938CIS_BC_bcSample1 --tag=BC --minlength=5 --mincalls=25 --prefix=G /data/results/solid0015/solid0015_20100706_S1001938CIS_BC/bcSample1/jobs/postPrimerSetPrimary.1505/rawseq
    # Cwd: /home/pipeline
    # Title: solid0015_20100706_S1001938CIS_BC_bcSample1
    # Library:S1001938CIS_7:00313
    >1_223_2_BC 0
    G00313
    >1_238_37_BC 0
    G00313
    >1_240_14_BC 0
    G00313

    Anyone know? Should I be using these BC files in some way? They have extremely little information content.

    Well, the main thing is your csfasta and qual files work fine.

    Could BC be barcode ? They seemt to be short, as in barcodes, and the format seems to be the csfasta format.

    Not sure I ever saw these in my days of SOLiD adventures, which ended in 2012 (thank god).

      Hey, the data turned out OK and was useful! But yeah, I had to dust off the hard drive the reads were on, it'd been sitting on a shelf for eight years or so.

        wow that is some really good work that you've been doing there. I had been closely associated with some projects on Encodeproject on RNA sequence measures.

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
