Import links to FASTQ files stored on a local hard drive or file server

This video shows how to import only the links to FASTQ files stored on a local hard drive or file server. This is the recommended import option since it avoids duplication of the data and it keeps the database lightweight.

Sequence read sets

A sequence read set is designed to hold large sets of short reads generated by next generation sequencing (NGS). Base sequences and their associated quality scores are stored for single-end and paired-end reads, originating from various high-throughput sequencing platforms such as Illumina, Ion Torrent, PacBio, Oxford Nanopore, etc.
