Naming Convention
FASTQ files are named with the sample name and the sample number, which is a numeric assignment based on the order that the sample is listed in the sample sheet. For example: Data\Intensities\BaseCalls\SampleName_S1_L001_R1_001.fastq.gz
|
•
|
SampleName—The sample name provided in the sample sheet. If a sample name is not provided, the file name includes the sample ID, which is a required field in the sample sheet and must be unique. |
|
•
|
S1—The sample number based on the order that samples are listed in the sample sheet starting with 1. In this example, S1 indicates that this sample is the first sample listed in the sample sheet. |
Note
Reads that cannot be assigned to any sample are written to a FASTQ file for sample number 0, and excluded from downstream analysis.
|
•
|
R1—The read. In this example, R1 means Read 1. For a paired-end run, there is at least one file with R2 in the file name for Read 2. When generated, index reads are I1 or I2. |
|
•
|
001—The last segment is always 001. |
FASTQ files that do not follow this naming convention cannot be imported into BaseSpace Sequence Hub.
