  • 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!

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin


          The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

          Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
          by seqadmin


          Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
