Sequencing Orders & Samples

Sequencing Orders are the central workflow unit in SeqDesk. Each sequencing order groups one or more samples for a sequencing request, tracks status from draft through completion, and links to sequencing files and downstream analysis.

Creating Sequencing OrdersNew sequencing order form, required fields, sequencing tech selection, and draft mode.Sequencing Order LifecycleStatus transitions from DRAFT to COMPLETED, approvals, and status notes.Samples & MetadataAdding samples, MIxS checklists, field templates, and bulk editing.Organism & TaxonomyNCBI taxonomy lookup, taxId assignment, and metagenome identifiers.Sequencing RunsRun metadata, QC metrics, MultiQC reports, and linking reads.Sequencing Order PipelinesPer-sample sequencing utilities for read simulation, checksums, FastQC, and read-level writeback.
