sampleID plugin

Use the sampleID plugin to track samples or possibly identify misassignment or mix up between samples and barcodes in a sequencing run. The sampleID plugin produces a unique identification code (SampleID) for each barcode in a sample.

The plugin can be used with the Ion AmpliSeq™ Sample ID Panel, which is a human SNP genotyping panel, to ensure that the accuracy of samples increase confidence in sample data management. The Ion AmpliSeq™ Sample ID Panel is composed of the identified human sample gender and IUPAC base letters for eight high-frequency noncoding SNPs. Ion AmpliSeq™ Sample ID Panel contains nine primer pairs that can be combined with any Ion AmpliSeq™ Ready-to-Use Panel or Custom Panel.

For the samples to work with this plugin, the Ion AmpliSeq™ library must have been prepared with Ion AmpliSeq™ sample tracking amplicons.

The sampleID plugin is preconfigured and does not require input.
