Parallel sequencing lives, or what makes large sequencing projects successful

Abstract

T47D rep2 and b1913e6c1 51720e9cf were 2 Hi-C samples. They were born and processed at the same time, yet their fates were very different. The life of b1913e6c1 51720e9cf was simple and fruitful, while that of T47D rep2 was full of accidents and sorrow. At the heart of these differences lies the fact that b1913e6c1 51720e9cf was born under a lab culture of Documentation, Automation, Traceability, and Autonomy and compliance with the FAIR Principles. Their lives are a lesson for those who wish to embark on the journey of managing high-throughput sequencing data.
