We have an Illumina MiniSeq machine that we share with 3 other labs (Lawson, Sontheimer, Wolfe). Our combined labs are responsible for all elements of running this machine, including running, maintaining, cleaning, and analyzing data from this machine. Three crucial resources will provide you with the ability to join the MiniSeq community:
1) ASC MiniSeq Wiki - information on how to use/maintain the MiniSeq. Please feel free to add any missing information as you learn about it. You should already have access to view/edit the wiki as a member of the pailab google group, but if not, please email Athma.
2) ASC MiniSeq Slack @ asc5miniseq.slack.com - submit a request to join if you are not already a member. Important announcements for machine maintenance + regularly scheduled runs are made over this workspace. Additionally, it gives you the ability to directly message any other user to communicate about machine usage.
3) Logging into ASC MiniSeq Gmail. Only in extreme need, if something needs administrative access, use:
