Torrent Browser Analysis Report Guide


This page describes the old style run reports used before release 3.0. The old style run reports use an older layout and do not offer 4.x features. The Classic run report is viewed with the Classic Report button (near the top right of a run report page):

These links permit you to directly download the data and report files.Some files are compressed, using the .zip format, to provide data integrity and to reduce download time.

Right-click the wanted file type and follow the Save link as dialog to save the file to your local computer. Most outputfiles can be loaded into third-party viewers (such as IGV) for visualization. The barcode links only appear for runs on barcoded data.

File Type

Description

Library Alignments (BAM)

Binary Sequence Alignment/Map (BAM), is a compressed, binary form of the SAM file. BAM files can be indexed, using the BAM Index file, for quick access to sequence alignment data. See http://samtools.sourceforge.net for more a more detailed description of the SAM/BAM file format. Many tools are available for working with SAM files.



See Classic Library Summary Overview for a description of the alignment data included in the BAM file. The reads in the file are sorted by reference location.

Library Alignments (BAM Index)

Binary Sequence Alignment/Map Index (BAI) -formatted file.A BAM index file speeds up the access time for a coordinate-sorted BAM file, enabling software to more quickly access random parts of the genomic information in a BAM file. Each BAM index file is associated with a BAM file so be careful not to confuse them. They share the same file name but the BAM index file has a .bai extension. To access information in a BAM file, a BAM index file is not required but does improve time-to-access.

Barcode Alignments Summary

A summary file of alignment metrics for barcodes. The metrics include the quality and read lengths at which each barcode aligns to reference.

This link appears on barcode runs only.

Barcode-specific Library Alignments (BAM and BAM Index)

The same format and purpose as the Library Alignments (BAM) and Library Alignments (BAM Index) files, with content for specific barcodes. The BAM and BAM Index files for each barcode are zipped together.

This link appears on barcode runs only.
