    converting bcl file from MiSeq

    Hi All,

    I wonder if anyone knows the trick of modifying the config.xml file generated in Illumina MiSeq runs so that a CASAVA or OLB can convert bcl files into fastq files. I understand that usually there is no need to do it since the secondary analysis in the MiSeq Reporter will do it automatically. But we did run into some errors which led to interruption of the secondary analysis so now we need to manually convert the bcl files into fastq files for further analysis.

    Many thanks

    We are awaiting the same answer from ILMN. Any run error (or canceling it early), means you have to manually do BCL-->FASTQ off the instrument. Baffles me that such simple things still elude a company that has been doing this for longer than anyone.

    Will update if I hear.

      Hi,

      You had an answer of Illumina ?

      thank you to update if you had a solution

        You can do the conversion of the BCL files off-line if you have access to CASAVA. We keep the analysis on our MiSeq turned off and handle the secondary data analysis off-line.

          Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

          Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

          I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

          Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
