Multiplex ID

Multiplex ID

Sequencher 5.2 and later uses a multiplexing method of de novo or reference based assembly with BWA, GSNAP or Velvet. Multiplexing is quick and easy. Each DNA sample has a specific barcode associated with it. Sequencher can read these barcodes and divide the data into various files or 'bins' . Sequencher then takes the sequences in each ‘bin’ and performs the assembly or alignment for you. Sequencher’s Multiplex ID can be used with single or paired-end data. For paired-end data, each read in the pair must have the same barcode at the 5’ end to be recognized as a pair. You can use the Tablet viewer to view the results of the multiplex assembly or alignment.
