I just started using CASAVA and currently demultiplexing now. Can anyone explain what exactly is demultiplexing? Having a trouble understanding the purpose of it. Thanks in advance.

I assume you are using CASAVA version 1.8.Originally posted by cjose View Post
If you do not have "multiplexed" samples then this version of casava treats samples being multiplex of "1". When you are "de-multiplexing", the process is converting the "bcl" files (primary sequencing output) to actual FASTQ sequence files. If you do have real multiplexed samples then it will also split the reads into bins based on the "tag" info you provide in the SampleSheet file. -
It's 1.8. Thanks for the explanation.Comment

Haha - can't argue with you there!Comment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
