I was curious if Illumina sequencers allow you to read the raw FastQ files they are producing while they are running. I'm trying to see if you really have to wait for the sequencer to finished before you start the alignment.

I do not think there is an option to do this. -
So when the sequencer is running where does the data get stored while the machine is running? Is it on the instrument itself or does the data flow to a data store somewhere.Comment

Depending on the instrument and your settings, you may see either. The HiSeqs have temp folders on the computer's D and E drives that hold the cluster intensities and .bcl files; MiSeqs are analogous-- there's an output folder location specified during run setup, in addition to the analysis folder. You can specify those temp locations to be a network location, if you want.
I don't happen to recall if basespace also gets copies of the .bcl files mid-run.Comment

Thanks for the Info Jessica, just what I was looking for.Comment

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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
