Data management

You can manage how run data is archived, or deleted, from Torrent Suite Software. You can also import run data.

File category	Details
Signal Processing Input	Signal processing input (raw) data files generated by the sequencing instruments. These files are only available on the Torrent Suite™ Software for PGM or thumbnails for the Ion Proton™ and Ion S5™. Keep this data if you want to reanalyze the run starting from Signal Processing.
Basecalling Input	Keep this data if you want to reanalyze the run.
Output Files	All of the BAM files and run reports, plugin results. It is important to keep these files, and archive them. Only delete output files if you are sure that you no longer need the files.
Intermediate Files	Intermediate files that contain extra information for use in debugging. Delete these files without effects to data.
