Hi
sequencing_summary.txt is a file generated by ONT's MinKNOW and unfortunately, it does not have any specification (even it should have one!) and keeps changing frequently. So this option needs to be updated whenever ONT changes the sequencing summary format. Are you encountering any problems with it?
We haven't had problems yet but just noticed the warning in the documentation. Will it error out if there's an issue? Or will the output be wrong? As long as it's causing easily detectable problems, I think it's worth it to us to keep using it.
Yes, it will error out if there is an issue and will not affect the output. The sequencing summary file's use is to quickly determine which read ID maps to which fast5 file. If the corresponding column name in the sequencing summary changed, f5c will not be able to use the summary file and will anyway fall back to the default method.
ok thanks, i think you can close this issue then. On Oct 1, 2021, 8:48 PM -0400, Hasindu Gamaarachchi @.***>, wrote:

No problem. Feel free to reopen or open a new issue if you have any more questions in the future.
Can you clarify the issues with the sequencing_summary option? It speeds things up enormously and so I hope to keep using it if possible. What exactly are the formatting issues and/or the proper format specifications for sequencing_summary.txt.
