  • Server product for miSeq-scale data storage?

    We currently use an in-house server to host demultiplexed fastq.gz files from our miSeq (~8 runs / month). However, the system is held together by tape practically and I spend a lot of time fixing it.

    Does anyone know of a server system that is NOT basespace, but could store sample information and serve sample-demultiplexed files? Something similar to Geospiza's Finch (which we used to use in the Sanger days).

    Would be thrilled to hear if people use any products other than Basespace / home-brew

    Are you only looking to "serve" (via what protocol, nfs/cifs/http) files from a central location?

    You probably don't need a commercial appliance since it sounds like you know what you are doing. Just buy some new hardware and put a new file server together.

      I would suggest building your own tower PC with a couple Xeons for running bcl2fastq. Right now I'm using that type of system for demultiplexing NextSeq 500 data. It's running Fedora 21 and processes data on a networked cifs share.

        For just 8 runs a month MiSeq Reporter should be more than capable of handling your data processing needs. Just hook it up to a network attached storage device with a few TB of storage and you should be all set.

          We have a Synology nas DS3612 in the informatics lab that we backup the runs to over NFS. It has a ton of features that could be overkill for your needs, but they had the best reviews for a nas enclosure. It has a really easy to use file sharing setup that allows us to share the completed run and or analysis similar to dropbox sharing too.

          Another option is a tower with a FreeNAS image on it.

            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...
