    Data Retrieval

    Hello all--

    My group is new to using the GS Junior, and I have a couple of software questions.

    1- We got our first sequence last week (after months of technical difficulties). We obviously just ran a control (just RSV) and the instrument delivered a sequence which was successfully RSV. However, I was wondering-- does the instrument's software ever say how many replicates it found of that sequence? Or does it just deliver the individual sequences it found?

    2-I finished a run yesterday and my control passed. However, it said I have 35 key passes but no sequences. Is there a way to get the raw data from the software? I'm wondering if it saw anything close to a possible sequence and then decided it wasn't anything. I'd like to run a BLAST on it to see what the instrument saw.

    Please let me know if you can help me.

    Thanks,
    Alison

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    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...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
