A FASTQ file is a text file that stores the sequence data from clusters that pass the flow cell's filter. Demultiplexing is the first phase in creating a FASTQ file if specimens were multiplexed.

FASTQ format files are produced by nearly all modern sequencers and serve as a starting point for the bioinformatic analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. Understanding this format is key ...

A FASTQ file is a text file that stores the sequence data from clusters that pass the flow cell's filter. Demultiplexing is the first phase in creating a FASTQ file if specimens were multiplexed.

– Initial feature at no-cost to enable broad scalability of interpretation software to benefit sequencing labs of all sizes around the world – FASTQ is the raw data file that comes from the sequencer.
