Hi,
In my group we have a Solexa machine and we are having problems in saving all data generated by a run. Until now I have been using only the fastq files and some report files but nothing else. (I know that public databases like GEO can accept only fastq files: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/geo/info/seq.html)
Questions: Is it ok to remove all the other files for good? Do they retain any important information that fastq files cannot give?
All comments are appreciated.
Best regards.
