Ultraplex: An ultra-fast, flexible, all-in-one fastq demultiplexer
An Illumina sequencing lane for testing our demultiplexer, named Ultraplex, which splits a raw FASTQ file containing barcodes either at a single end or at both 5' and 3' ends of reads, trims the sequencing adaptors and low quality bases, and moves unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) into the read header, allowing subsequent removal of PCR duplicates. Ultraplex is able to perform such single or combinatorial demultiplexing on both single- and paired-end sequencing data, and can process an entire Illumina HiSeq lane, consisting of nearly 500 million reads, in less than twenty minutes.
