  • Software for viewing *.tif files?

    Hello,

    If I wanted to reprocess Illumina MiSeq tiff files, what software should I use?

    Regards,
    CH

    What do you want to do? "Process" is a pretty open term. Are these "tiff files" the raw data off of the instrument? That could be quite a challenge.

    Otherwise ...

    Imagemagick is great for batch processing files : http://www.imagemagick.org/

    GIMP and MsPaint are free tools if you just need to hand mark up a few images.

      If you only want to view files (since the title of your post says that) try: http://www.irfanview.com/ This will handle different bit depth files.

        With the Illumina TIFF I had problems opening in "standard" image viewer (bit depth).
        ImageJ (http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/) works just fine, used it for GAIIx images.

        .. but I wonder if the MiSeq really keeps the TIFF files ..?

          You can force it to if you need to. We tried it once, but then ran up against a bit of a wall; MiSeqs handle their tiffs differently to HiSeq and GAIIs, so the available software doesn't work on them.

            i would also vote for irfanview. It has batch editing tools that are real handy.

              Well, OK, on Windows I'd go for IrfanView as well .. as I am working on linux ImageJ is doing an excellent job on such image files.

                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...
