Run Management

The Runs screen displays the list of planned runs, active runs, and completed runs. Each run is identified by the run name. To search for a run, use the run name, library tube strip ID, and the first DRAGEN application added to the run. You can also view the amount of instrument data storage consumed by all runs and the amount of storage space still available. Refer to Clear Hard Drive Space for information on deleting runs.

In the remote control software, you can export the sample sheet of a run. Select the run name, and then select Sample Sheet. Select Save as to save the sample sheet.

The Planned tab displays runs planned locally or in the cloud. You can plan runs locally on the NovaSeq X Series instrument or a networked computer. To plan runs in the cloud, use BaseSpace Sequence Hub.

You can edit or delete locally planned runs on the Planned tab. To edit a planned run, select the run on the Planned tab. To delete a planned run, select the trash can icon in the Actions column.

The Planned tab displays the following information:

• Status—The status of the sequencing run. Planned runs can exist in one of the following statuses:
– Planned—Run is available to select for sequencing.
– Draft—Run is not available to select for sequencing.
– Needs attention—Run is not available due to an error (eg, cloud connection has been disrupted). You can review the error in the Run details screen.
• Run name—The name of the run.
• Application—The DRAGEN secondary analysis applications associated with the run. For more information on installing applications, refer to Manage DRAGEN Applications.
• Last modified—The date and time the run was last edited.

The Active tab displays any in-progress runs, including planned runs and runs created manually. The Active tab includes the date sequencing began, instrument side, sequencing status, and the % ≥ Q30, yield, and total reads PF metrics.

In the Active tab, you can cancel data upload to your storage location or cancel secondary analysis. Refer to End a Run for more information. Canceling a run during sequencing is not available on the Active tab.

Select the run name to navigate to the Run details page and view additional details about the run. Select the drop-down next to the run to view additional details on the sequencing status and associated DRAGEN applications.

For more information on run metrics and run status, refer to Monitor Run Progress.

The Completed tab displays runs that have completed sequencing and analysis, were canceled, or failed to complete sequencing or analysis. You can view the location of the sequencing and analysis output data, sequencing metrics, and the amount of instrument data storage consumed by the run. You can view the DRAGEN applications associated with the run, the % ≥ Q30, yield, total reads PF, and the disk space that the run occupies on the instrument. When sequencing data are deleted or transferred off the instrument, the space metric shows 0 GB.

To view additional run results, such as detailed sequencing and secondary analysis metrics, select the run.

To delete a run, select the ellipsis icon in the Action column. You can delete the run or delete only the run data. Deleting run data removes sequencing and analysis folders generated by the run, but retains basic run details and does not remove the run from the Completed tab. Deleting the run removes the run entirely.
