  • bcl2fastq 2.0 barcode mismatch option

    I'm trying to run bcl2fastq with the barcode-mismatch option set to 3. Unfortunately setting this option to anything other than the default seems to result in runaway memory usage (fills and eventually kills a 128GB machine). Is this a known bug? The version I am using is:

    This version has so many bugs in it. You should just upgrade to their new version 2.15. Also, which is kind of lame of illumina, but they will not support version 2.14.

    3 mismatches? That's a lot of mismatches in at most a 8 barcode sequence.

      Yes, I upgraded. 2.14 was a car crash bug-wise.

      Re: 3 mismatches - yes the experiment was a bit of a car crash as well (over clustered), just trying to see what we can salvage.

        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...

        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...
