Any suggestion on how to get to know the seq data is from which platform?

[arkilis]

Given that it's 251bp long, and the name look like the MiSeq convention, I would say that it's an Illumina MiSeq read.

You are right. Mr. Genius! Just get confirmed with client. MiSeq.

Posting read headers may help; someone may recognized them. Also, a read length histogram (or range) might help narrow it down.

Thanks for answering.

Any idea? Thanks again!

Got some data from other lab people. They are not sure what platform it is. So I used the fastqc which can have a check on the read length and some tips on what platform it is. i.e. Quality scores across all bases (Sanger/ illumina 1.9 encoding). I would reckon it is probably from sanger.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
