Illumina samplesheet fields

[nicolallias]

Hi there,

A samplesheet (for demultiplexer.pl) as the following headers:
FCID,Lane,SampleID,SampleRef,Index,Description,Control,Recipe,Operator

What is "Recipe" meaning ?

Thanks

When the techs start the sequencer they load a recipe - it's what tells the instrument how many cycles to run, etc. I don't believe it's required for the demultiplex.pl script. It's info that would have been generated if you used the cluster station/cBot to create the sample sheet.
