  • MiSeq FastQ Header for pair-end data

    So the Miseq fastq header for pair-end data has changed. I used to see a /1 or /2 at the end of the read name. Now I get something like this for the first read:

    @HWI:1:X:2:1101:1094:2143 1:N:0: CGGCTATG-ATAGAGGC

    and this for the second read:

    @HWI:1:X:2:1101:1094:2143 4:N:0: CGGCTATG-ATAGAGGC

    I've seen the the number 3 or 4 in the second read but not sure what they mean, and haven't seen an explanation anywhere. Does anyone know what this number signifies?

    That's good to know; I had only seen 2 for read 2 - now I need to update my header-detection routines. I imagine it has to do with how the machine counts sequencing phases for dual-index:

    1: Read 1
    2: Barcode 1
    3: Barcode 2
    4: Read 2

    It's not unusual for Illumina to randomly change stuff like that with software updates, which is pretty annoying.

      Can you tell us where the data was analyzed, on instrument/in BaseSpace? Was the analysis done using standard parameters (i.e. no separate fastq files for tag reads).

        If the headers are starting with @HWI it's almost certainly generated using BCL2FASTQ and not MiSeq Reporter, which uses @M0xxxx.

          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...
