  • Ion Torrent FastQ Analysis on Galaxy

    I have two questions about analyzing PGM FastQ files using Galaxy.

    1) Can someone confirm if Ion Torrent FastQ files are in Sanger format?

    I believe they are based on information from the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTQ_format

    My FastQ files do not have lowercase letters, and they contain !" characters.


    2) Is it normal to have to rerun FASTQ Groomer after each step in Galaxy?

    I ran FASTQ Groomer on my complete dataset. Then I ran a barcode splitter, after which it seems that I have to run FASTQ Groomer again on each file before I can process them any further. Is this normal or does it indicate an error? This is what made me question whether I was correct in specifying Sanger format.

    Thanks for any feedback!

    If you specify the exact input file coding you wont have to run groomer multiple times

      You should not need to run groomer over again. In case the metadata is wrong up you can choose the "pencil" icon next to the dataset name and manually set the file type to "fastqsanger".

        Thanks for the help! I changed it to "fastqsanger" under Datatype as suggested, and this seems to have done the trick so that I don't need to rerun FASTQ Groomer.

        Can anyone verify that Sanger is the format used by Ion Torrent?

          http://mendel.iontorrent.com/ion-doc...e_6128102.html Look at the "Results" section at the bottom of the page.

              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...
