Phil, we also have a MiSeq and currently experienced the same phenomenon how to demultiplex. We have our local galaxy instance and wrote some scripts to efficiently demultiplex the sample. However, you FIRST need to " convert" on the MiSeq the primary fastq into a (in their view) multiplex identified fastq. There the final :0 in all your headers get converted in the multiplex or sample ID you gave it in the sample sheet! I see you all have zeros which is not quite helpfull. After the samplesheet conversion we just concat all fastq files which you then can easily group the reads on the final multiplex id en demultiplex it in separate files. In addition you can split the forward and reversed by the <space>1 and <space>2 identifyers in the header. Many tools do not require the conversion to /1 and /2 any more but this can be easily done locally with for instance sed on unix. We converted it like this: @M00132:6:000000000-A0JG4:1:1:18014:1842 1:N:0:2 @M00132:6:000000000-A0JG4:1:1:18014:1842 2:N:0:2 into @M00132:6:000000000-A0JG4:1:1:18014:1842/1 1:N:0:2 @M00132:6:000000000-A0JG4:1:1:18014:1842/2 2:N:0:2 Since many tools grep till the first space. I might pop the scripts soon in the toolshed but that might not be of great help maybe....otherwise pm me and I send you the script (perl).

I am using Galaxy main site to analyse MiSeq data of pooled samples. Essentially the run produces 3 fastq files consisting of R1, R2 read files and a separate index file. They are in the format below. R1: @M00132:6:000000000-A0JG4:1:1:18014:1842 1:N:0:0 Sequence data R2: @M00132:6:000000000-A0JG4:1:1:18014:1842 2:N:0:0 Sequence data Index: @M00132:6:000000000-A0JG4:1:1:18014:1842 1:N:0:0 CTCGGT + <@@DFD I would like to use Galaxy to demultiplex the samples and then analyse them individually. I have found barcode Splitter (version 1.0.0) on Galaxy however this tool requires the index to be found at the beginning of the sequence. Therefore I am attempting to add the index sequence onto the end of the sequence read data. FASTQ joiner (version 1.0.0) joins fastq files, however the fastqs to be joint must be distinguished by a /1 or /2 at end of sequence identifiers. Does anyone have any advice or experience of demultiplexing data in this format? Thanks, Phil DISCLAIMER: The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
