Is there a size limit for FASTQ files upload? What should I do if my FASTQ files exceed the size limit?

Is there a size limit for FASTQ files upload?

Yes.

Please find below the maximum FASTQ file size (quota) included in the voucher code for data upload:

Library prep Kit(s)	File size upload (quotas)
QuantSeq (FWD, FWD-UMI, REV) miRVEL (Discovery and Profiling)	~ 1,5 GB / file
QuantSeq (FFPE, Pool) LUTHOR HD	~ 3 GB / file
CORALL Whole Transcriptome Sequencing	~ 10 GB / file

If FASTQ files slightly exceed the size limit, you can attempt to compress your files with 7-zip for windows computer.

For Mac Os and Linux, you can use the following command line:

gunzip -c some_file.fastq.gz | gzip -9 > some_higher_compressed_file.fastq.gz

Alternatively, you could also try to sub-sample reads with awk. Please check this command line tutorial

If needed, additional quotas can be purchased separately at sales@lexogen.com.
