  • Question

    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.

    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.

            Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
            by seqadmin


            The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

            Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
            by seqadmin




            The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
