  • RLMIDs vs GSMIDs

    Hello all!
    I'm finally starting to get the hang of sfffile, and am finding some things that I can't explain. For instance, one particular region (a pool of 4 RLMID tagged rapid libraries) on the most recent PTP had 43,949 reads. 43,792 of those got sorted in sff's based on the RLMIDs. Out of curiosity, I sorted using the GSMIDs, and ~15,000 were sorted then. What could be happening?

    [PMGF@PMGF-454 ~]$ sfffile -s GSMIDs /data/R_2012_11_29_16_12_43_FLX05100626_Administrator_Shotgun/sff/HYPJBHH12_Shotgun.sff
    Reading the input SFF file(s)...
    Generating the split SFF file(s)...
    MID1: 3 reads written into the SFF file.
    MID2: 0 reads found.
    MID3: 13 reads written into the SFF file.
    MID4: 10898 reads written into the SFF file.
    MID5: 4660 reads written into the SFF file.
    MID6: 0 reads found.
    MID7: 0 reads found.
    MID8: 0 reads found.
    MID9: 1 reads written into the SFF file.
    MID10: 0 reads found.
    MID11: 0 reads found.
    MID12: 0 reads found.
    MID13: 0 reads found.
    MID14: 0 reads found.
    [PMGF@PMGF-454 ~]$ sfffile -s RLMIDs /data/R_2012_11_29_16_12_43_FLX05100626_Administrator_Shotgun/sff/HYPJBHH12_Shotgun.sff

    RL4: 4734 reads written into the SFF file.

    RL9: 0 reads found.
    RL10: 0 reads found.
    RL11: 0 reads found.
    RL12: 0 reads found.


    Can the RLMIDs be misinterpreted as GSMIDs, and vice-versa? Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Yes, presumably because by default, up to two mismatches are allowed between the MID and the read. If you try allow only for one error, this should not happen. Either copy the Installation_path/454/config/MIDConfig.parse file to a new location and edit it:
    Code:
    mid = "MID4", "AGCACTGTAG", 2;
    becomes
    Code:
    mid = "MID4", "AGCACTGTAG", 0;
    Then run
    Code:
    sfffile -s GSMIDs -mcf modified_MIDConfig.parse /data/R_2012_11_29_16_12_43_FLX05100626_Administrator_Shotgun/sff/HYPJBHH12_Shotgun.sff
    Or to indicate specific MIDs and allow no errors (adding '/0') run
    Code:
    sfffile -s GSMIDs:mid4/0,mid5/0@/data/R_2012_11_29_16_12_43_FLX05100626_Administrator_Shotgun/sff/HYPJBHH12_Shotgun.sff
    sfffile -s RLMIDs:mid1/0,mid2/0,mid3/0,mid4/0@/data/R_2012_11_29_16_12_43_FLX05100626_Administrator_Shotgun/sff/HYPJBHH12_Shotgun.sff

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
