Override Cycles

The OverrideCycles mask elements are semicolon separated. For example:

OverrideCycles,U7N1Y143;I8;I8;U7N1Y143

DRAGEN supports flexible UMI processing during BCL conversion to support more third-party assays, including UMI sequences in index reads and multiple UMI regions per read. UMI sequences are trimmed from FASTQ read sequences and placed in the sequence identifier for each read, as normal.

The following are examples of OverrideCycles settings using 2x151 reads:

Setting

Description

OverrideCycles,U7N1Y143;I8;I8;U7N1Y143

UMI is composed of the first 7 bp of each genomic read, linked by 1 bp of ignored sequence, and is the format for Illumina nonrandom UMIs, used in the following products:

TruSight Oncology 170 RUO
TruSight Oncology 500 RUO
IDT for Illumina - UMI Index Anchors

OverrideCycles,Y151;I8;U10;Y151

Index Read 2 is a 10 bp UMI, and is the format for Agilent XT HS.

OverrideCycles,Y151;I8U9;I8;Y151

Index Read 1 contains both an index and a 9 bp UMI, and is the format for IDT Dual Index Adapters with UMIs.

OverrideCycles,U3N2Y146;I8;I8;U3N2Y146

UMI is composed of the first 3 bp of each genomic read, linked by 2 bp of ignored sequence, and is the format for UMIs in SureSelect XT HS 2 and IDT xGen Duplex Seq Adapter.

OverrideCycles,Y151;I8;I8;U10N12Y127

UMI is at the beginning of Read 2, attached with a linker sequence of length 12.
