Import high-throughput sequencing data

The CLC Genomics Workbench has dedicated tools for importing data from the following High-throughput sequencing systems. The reason for having dedicated tools for this is to standardize the data so that most downstream analyses and visualization of the data works seamlessly with all sequencing platforms. In addition to these formats, mapped data in SAM/BAM format can also be imported.

This section will describe the various importers in detail.

Clicking on the Import (Image Next_Folder_16_n_p) button in the top toolbar will bring up a list of the supported data types as shown in figure 6.3.
