New Sanger Centre Naming Scheme

Filename

sanger_names_new.p4t

Description

This scheme extracts information from sequence names by assuming that they adhere to the new-style (~1997) Sanger Centre naming scheme. This is explained clearly on the Sanger Centre's web pages at http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/sequencing/

The information extracted consists of the template name, primer type and chemistry information. The format of a reading name is as follows.

<template_name>.<strand><primer><chemistry>

The strand, primer and chemistry fields are each one character long and are mandatory. They are defined by the following tables.

Strand

Description

p

Forward, double stranded template.

q

Reverse, double stranded template.

r

Reverse, single stranded template.

s

Forward, single stranded template.

Primer

Description

1

Universal primer (end of insert).

2

Custom primer.

Conditions

Description

t

standard (ABI) terminator

d

dRhodamine terminator

p

standard (ABI) primer

e

energy transfer primer

b

big dye primer

c

big dye terminator

l

licor

For example "U16F10.p1t" is a forward standard (ABI) terminator sequence from the double stranded template named U16F10 using the universal primer.
