  • How filter bcl2fastq reads ?

    Hello everyone,

    I got a nextseq run that I demultiplexed using bcl2fastq.
    Then I used fastq illumina filter and I got this strange result :

    fastq_illumina_filter (--keep N) statistics:
    Input: 141,900,316 reads
    Output: 141,900,316 reads (9%)
    According to the website where I've downloaded this software :
    This program can filter FASTQ files produced by CASAVA 1.8
    Indeed, all my reads (the 4 lanes) have the "N" tag I checked with the following command
    grep -A 3 '^@.* [^:]*:Y:[^:]*:'
    Why all my reads have the "N" tag ? According to the bcl2fastq user guide this tag DOES exist with bcl2fastq ! (page 22) So, is there a way to filter reads which are produced with bcl2fastq ? Do I have to update the RTA version ? And finally why fastq_illumina_filter gave me 9% of read passing filter ?

    Forgive me if I am not understanding your question.

    Only way to get "failed" reads in output file is to run bcl2fastq with the option "--with-failed-reads".

    By default N stands for NOT filtered i.e. of good quality.

      That's why I wasn't able to see them, thanks

        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...
