  • qseq format question

    Hi all,

    Bustard (pipeline 1.5) produces _qseq.txt files. These are the columns: machine name, run number, lane number, tile number, x and y coordinates of the clusters, index, read number, sequence, per base phred64 score and whether the read passed filtering.

    All are clear to me except the index. Am I correct in assuming that the index represents the cycle number?

    Another question. I read that the GAII has 100 tiles per lane. But I have 120 qseq files per lane. How come?

    Many thanks!

    No, the index is not related to cycle number. The index field is used if you had pooled samples and used Multiplex ID (MID) tags. After identifying the ID tag in the index read (or index portion of read 1) the MID sequence will be recorded in the index field. If MID tags are not used the index field is always 0 (zero). For example, if a read from a pooled sample had the MID tag "ATAT" associated with it, its qseq line would be:

    Code:
    HWUSI-EAS1599 0019 1 1 1097 3011 ATAT 1 <seqread> <qual> 1

    The latest model of the instrument, the GAIIx, collects 120 tiles per lane.

      or...

      Is it the index of a multiplexed sample, and 0 if no multiplexing? (like in the fastq format, see the wiki)

        I see I cross posted. Sorry kmcarr.

        Thank you for your explanation!

          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...
