What's New

Improvements to the Requeue Experience

Requeue Sample Sheet

The requeue sample sheet feature loads the original run sample sheet into a text editor, allowing for review and/or editing before launching the requeue. Previously this feature only supported V1 sample sheets and now supports both V1 and V2 formats. For more information, see Fix Sample Sheet.

Requeue Planned Run

The requeue planned run feature uses the Run Planning tool for reviewing and/or editing V2 sample sheets. This feature supports both starting from the original sample sheet as well as uploading a new V2 sample sheet, which can be useful when the original sample sheet is the V1 format. Previously this feature was restricted to runs from certain instrument types and storage configurations and is now available for all runs. For more information, see Requeue a Planned Run.

Supported Requeue Applications

  • The V1 sample sheet format supports launching the FASTQ Generation app.

  • The V2 sample sheet format supports launching BCL Convert and supported Illumina DRAGEN secondary analysis applications:

    • Illumina DRAGEN Apps version 3 or higher.

    • DRAGEN TruSight Oncology 500 Apps version 2.1 or higher.

Consolidation of New and Classic Modes

To simplify workflows in BaseSpace Sequence Hub, we are consolidating New and Classic mode interfaces. With this change, Biosamples and Samples will be visible in a single view with no need to toggle between modes. Instead, choose a preferred input type when launching applications.

Automated Run Zipping

Around the middle of 2022, we will turn on an automated process in BaseSpace Sequence Hub that will start zipping the BCL and image files associated with old runs. Any run that hasn’t been modified for more than 90 days will be eligible for zipping. Metrics, log files, samplesheets, and other files in the run folder will be left untouched, and the ability to review run metrics remains unchanged.

For more information, see Automated Run Zipping.

Archiving

BaseSpace Sequence Hub now includes archive storage. This feature allows accounts configured for New application mode to move runs and datasets to long-term storage, with significantly lower costs than standard storage.

Data transfer to and from archival storage takes several days to complete and incurs additional fees per TB transferred. Restoring data that have been archived for a short period of time can result in higher overall storage, so archiving is not recommended for data that you intend to use soon.

For more information, see Archival Storage.
