  • In search of a sign in the data: When is a HiSeq run really done?

    A maybe odd, but interesting question: Is there an easy way to see, if a HiSeq run has finished producing data, if you are not able to take a look at the HiSeq itself and its display? I mean, I would like to just look at the data it produced on our cluster and say: Hey, this run is done, because there exists a file called "run_finsihed_successfully.txt" in the run folder or something like it. Does somebody know an answer to this?

    Yes.

    This is with a GAIIx, not a high-seq, but I have the following files appearing:
    Basecalling_Netcopy_complete.txt

    Depending of what information you want, this might also be of interest:
    ImageAnalysis_Netcopy_complete.txt

    You also have a similar file for each of the reads also.

      For the GAII fpepin is right, the Basecalling_Netcopy_complete_SINGLEREAD.txt or Basecalling_Netcopy_complete_READ2.txt files signal the end of the run. These are generated only when a single or paired end run is finished producing data.

      For the HiSeq, parse the RunInfo.xml file to determine the number of expected reads and then look for the corresponding Basecalling_Netcopy_complete_Read*.txt file. Here is the python code to handle both of these cases:

        Thanks a lot for the information (and the code!) fpepin and Brad-Chapman.

        I suppose it is a bug, that "Basecalling_Netcopy_complete.txt" is created after the first read already and not (logically) after the last one, but I can live with that.

          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...

          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...
