NGS Data Access

Master
Content

Your NGS raw data files (FASTQs) will be made available to you by one of two ways, distribution through Illumina BaseSpace or Globus. FASTQ files generated from runs loaded with 10X Single-Cell or 10X Visium libraries, and libraries that need additional processing such as trimming will generally be shared through Globus; all other FASTQs will be shared via Illumina BaseSpace. In order to access your files follow these steps. If you run into issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our core administration.
