Mapping Sequencing Runs to Biosamples
Data from sample sheets are matched to existing biosamples, libraries, and pools in the account belonging to the run owner. If the data do not match exactly, the biosamples, libraries, or pools are added as new. To correct mismatch errors, fix the sample sheet and perform a run requeue. For more information about fixing sample sheets, see Fix Sample Sheet.
To ensure that run data is correctly matched to entities in BaseSpace Sequence Hub, upload biosamples using a biosample workflow file, CLI, or API before uploading the sample sheet. For more information about uploading biosamples, see Biosample Workflow.
The following table lists the sample sheet data that is matched to biosample data.
Sample Sheet | Biosample Data | Description |
---|---|---|
Sample ID | Biosample Name |
|
Project | Default Project | |
Sample Name | Library name |
|
n/a | Library Prep Kit | If the biosample exists and has an active Prep Request, the Library Prep Kit from the Prep Request is used. If there is no Prep Request, the Library Prep Kit is set to Unknown. |
Sample Plate | Container name | |
Sample Well | Container Position | |
Lanes | Pool |
|
In the following example, the sample name is missing. BaseSpace Sequence Hub creates a new library using the Saliva 2 name from the provided sample ID.
