06 Sequencing Data

Do you de-multiplex the sequencing data?

Be default we will demultiplex all sequencing data from libraries generated by our facility as well as from customer libraries with barcodes sequenced in separate indexing reads  (e.g. using Truseq-style adapters).  This is in contrast to adapters with old style in-line barcode data.  Data for these have to be demultiplexed by the customer. The de-multiplexing is included in the sequencing recharge rates.  There are no additional costs.

Do you archive the sequencing data?

We do NOT archive sequencing data generated for you. Any sequencing data should be downloaded and verified as soon as possible. The short-read sequencing data will be available to you on our SLIMS server (Illumina and AVITI data) or Bioshare server for long-read data (PacBio and Nanopore). Illumina and AVITI sequencing data will be available for download for three months after they are generated. Pacbio and Nanopore data will be available for two months.

Where and how can I get my data?

Following analysis of each run, users have access to parsed output through the SLIMS server. A SLIMS account will be created for you on your first run, with information about how to access your account distributed via email (you will receive this email before your actual files are available).
