Upload Data to the Server

• If you have irregular data (without barcode information, such as demultiplexed (seperate files for each sample) fastq from company or downloaded from NCBI), please Modify Irregular Data first, and then reorganize them for uploading. If you have regular data and barcode information, skip this step.
• Please name the fastq files as XX_R1.fastq, XX_R1_001.fastq, XX_R1.fq or XX_R1_001.fq.
• You can either upload Fastq files with barcode file seperated or not. For example:

XX_R1_001.fastq(.gz), XX_R2_001.fastq(.gz)
or
XX_R1_001.fastq(.gz), XX_R2_001.fastq(.gz) and barcode read XX_I1_001.fastq(.gz)


• Each sequencing run should include fastq (2 or 3) files and a map file (named as XX_map.txt, see example. No - or _ in the map, use . instead.)
• It is highly suggested to Validate Map Files before uploading them, you know, to save a lot of time.
• The files of each sequencing run should be put in a folder named as XXdataset_XX (such as dataset_1. Don't compress it).
• One or more XXdataset_XX folders should be put in a NEW folder such as input_data, and then compressed the new folder to .zip (e.g. input_data.zip, using 7z in Windows, "ditto -ck --keepParent xx xx.zip" or GUI zipper in Mac OS) and uploaded it below (don't rename it after compression).
