Project Description

This project is designed to beta test the 10X genomics scRNA-seq pipeline on comet.



The following analysis steps will be undertaken.



* Conversion of raw data (illumina bcl files) to sample FASTQ with bcl2fastq.

* Quality control of FASTQ files with FastQC and Fastq Screen.

* Generation of full output files for all samples from FASTQ files with 10X CellRanger software.

* QC of the outputs from the 10X software.


Software or Compute Methods

CellRanger(v9.01), bcl2fastq, FastQC, Fastq Screen
