7.0 Connect Your FASTQs

To associate sample manifest metadata with sequencing output, each sample must be linked to its corresponding FASTQ file.

Connection methods

Method	When to use
Bulk Connect	Recommended for multiple samples — links all samples to their FASTQs at once.
Manual Connect	Useful for editing individual sample file paths, but not recommended for initial data connection.

Warning

Sample names must match FASTQ prefix names exactly. A mismatch will cause the INDUCE-seq Analysis to fail.
