What is the format for the G4 Sample Sheet?

This article describes the format of G4 Sample Sheets for communication of key details like the run ID, sample details, kit types, expected output, and other information.

The G4 Sequencing Platform accepts sample sheets in Comma Separated Values (CSV) format. Please use this link to download a sample sheet template that can be used for demultiplexing.

Please refer to the User Guide to get more information regarding sample sheet requirements. Required fields include:

  • Date
  • Run Name
  • Read lengths
  • Index lengths (if using indices)
  • sample_ID
  • index1 name (if using indices)
  • index1 sequence (if using indices)
  • index2 name (if using indices)
  • index2 sequence (if using indices)

If the sample sheet is loaded during run setup, demultiplexing will automatically occur after sequencing is complete; otherwise, demultiplexing will have to be run offline.
