Manual QC

In some cases, you might need to override a QC status that was automatically set by BaseSpace Sequence Hub. When a resource is set to QC failed, its data and any data produced from it are excluded from downstream data analyses and total yield calculations. For more information about excluding data from analyses, see Automatic Data Aggregation.

NOTE

Changing the QC status of a resource does not change the QC status of downstream resources produced from it.

You can fail Lanes, Libraries, Pools, and FASTQ Datasets using the API. For more information, see the developer documentation at developer.basespace.illumina.com.

Change FASTQ QC Status

You can change the status of a generated or uploaded FASTQ dataset.
