Reproducible outputs

[vdechand]

Hello,

is there a way to make the output fastq files reproducible, except for running BBT with only 1 thread?

Hi @vdechand,

By "reproducible", do you mean consistent ordering of the output fastq files? The categorized reads in the output files should be the same between runs but yes, the order of those reads may vary when you use multiple threads.

Hi Lauren,

thanks! Turns out I messed up the sorting of the categorized fastq files.... Using NGSUtils/fastqutils sort I get exact same output files as required.

Glad to hear it, thanks for the update!
