Requirements

The TN pipeline has fields that are required in addition to general sample sheet requirements. Follow the steps below to create a valid samplesheet.

Standard Sample Sheet Requirements

The following sample sheet requirements describe required and optional fields for TN pipeline. Depending on the deployment (standalone DRAGEN server, ICA with auto-launch, ICA with manual launch), certain sections and required values can deviate from the standard requirements. These deviations are noted in the information below.

The analysis fails if the sample sheet requirements are not met.

Use the following steps to create a valid sample sheet.

  1. Download the sample sheet v2 template that matches the instrument & assay run.

  2. In the Sequencing Settings section, enter the following required parameters:

[Sequencing_Settings] Section

Sample Parameter
Required
Details

LibraryPrepKits

Required

Accepted values are: IlluminaDNAPrep or IlluminaDNAPCRFree

  1. In the BCL Convert Settings section, enter the following required parameters:

[BCLConvert_Settings] Section

Sample Parameter
Required
Details

SoftwareVersion

Required

The DRAGEN component software version. The TN pipeline requires 4.4.4 or higher. To ensure you are using the latest compatible version, refer to the software release notes.

AdapterRead1

Required

If using 10 bp indexes with UDP: CTGTCTCTTATACACATCTCCGAGCCCACGAGAC Analysis fails if the incorrect adapter sequences are used

AdapterRead2

Required

If using 10 bp indexes with UDP: CTGTCTCTTATACACATCTGACGCTGCCGACGA Analysis fails if the incorrect adapter sequences are used

AdapterBehavior

Optional

Enter trim This indicates that the BCL Convert software trims the specified adapter sequences from each read.

MinimumTrimmedReadLength

Optional

Enter 35. Reads with a length trimmed below this point are masked.

MaskShortReads

Optional

Enter 35. Reads with a length trimmed below this point are masked.

  1. In the BCL Convert Data section, enter the following parameters for each sample.

[BCLConvert_Data] Section

Sample Parameter
Required
Details

Sample_ID

Required

Must match a Sample_ID listed in the [TN_Data] section section.

Index

Required

Index 1 sequence valid for Index_ID assigned to matching Sample_ID in the [TN_Data] section.

Index2

Required

Index 2 sequence valid for Index_ID assigned to matching Sample_ID in the [TN_Data] section.

Lane

Only for NovaSeq 6000 XP, NovaSeq 6000Dx, or NovaSeq X workflows

Indicates which lane corresponds to a given sample. Enter a single numeric value per row. Cannot be empty, i.e the analysis fails if the Lane column is present without a value in each row.

  1. In the [TN_Data] section, enter the following parameters:

[TN_Data] Section header changes depending on the deployment: Section header changes depending on the deployment:

  • Standalone DRAGEN Server and ICA with Manual Launch: TN_Data

  • ICA with Auto-launch: Cloud_TN_Data

[TN_Data] Section

Sample Parameter
Required
Details

Sample_ID

Required

The unique ID to identify a sample. The sample ID is included in the output file names. Sample IDs are not case sensitive. Sample IDs must have the following characteristics: - Unique for the run. - 1–70 characters. - No spaces. - Alphanumeric characters with underscores and dashes. If you use an underscore or dash, enter an alphanumeric character before and after the underscore or dash. eg, Sample1-T5B1_022515. - Cannot be called all, default, none, unknown, undetermined, stats, or reports. - Must match a Sample_ID listed in the [BCLConvert_Data] section. Each sample must have a unique combination of Lane (if applicable), sample ID, and index ID or the analysis will fail.

Sample_Type

Optional

Enter DNA

Case_ID

Optional

A unique ID that links the same biological samples from the same individual. It is used for variant interpretation in downstream software such as the Illumina Connected Insights software

Sample_Description

Optional

Sample description must meet the following requirements: - 1–50 characters. - Alphanumeric characters with underscores, dashes and spaces. If you enter a underscore, dash, or space, enter an alphanumeric character before and after. eg, Solid-WGS_213.

To ensure a successful analysis, follow these guidelines:

  1. Avoid any blank lines at the end of the sample sheet; these can cause the analysis to fail.

  2. When running local analysis using the command line save the sample sheet in the sequencing run folder with the default name SampleSheet.csv, or choose a different name and specify the path in the command-line options.

ICA with Auto-launch: Sample Sheet Requirements

To auto-launch analysis from the sequencer run folder, ensure the StartsFromFastq and SampleSheetRequested fields are set to FALSE. To auto-launch analysis from FASTQs after BCL Convert auto-launch, StartsFromFastq and SampleSheet Requested fields must be set to TRUE

Refer to the following requirements to create sample sheets for running the analysis on ICA with Auto-launch. For sample sheet requirements common between deployments see . Samples sheets can be created using BaseSpace Run Planning Tool or manually by downloading and editing a sample sheet template

Refer to for this section's requirements.
