how to get fastq file from cellranger?

Hi everyone I am new to single cell analysis

I need to create fastq file from BCL

My code in bash file look like-

cd /project/shikhasi/project/apps/cellranger-6.1.2/cellranger mkfastq --id=20_10x \
--run=/project/yard/20_10x/2_BHHNTLDRXY \
--csv=/project/yard/20_10x/cellranger-20210813_10x-bcl-simple-1.2.0.csv

But I can't able to get out file I make sure the the directory of my file but still it is not working.

Could anyone please help me out.

Any suggestion will highly appreciated.

cellranger mkfastq

Are you getting an error? cellranger requires an install of Illumina bcl2fastq. Have you installed that?

No I don't get error and yes I already installed cellranger and bcl2fastq even I notification on my terminal its successful

like this

**Outputs:

  • Run QC metrics: null
  • FASTQ output folder: /project/outs/fastq_path
  • Interop output folder: /project/outs/interop_path
  • Input samplesheet: /project/outs/input_samplesheet.csv Waiting 6 seconds for UI to do final refresh. Pipestance completed successfully!**

But when I see directory ../outs/fastq_path/HHNTLDRXY there are several folder but its all empty. Kindly please suggest me.

Thank you.

How big are the Undetermined files?

Hi thanks for your reply Undermined files is not created in my directory

The should be somewhere. Maybe a level or two out.

The problem is I can’t able to generate fastq files in out/ fast_path directory which is empty folder where I expected fastq file even in that folder and even undetermined files is not created but it’s like I successfully run cell ranger

You will need to find the cellranger log file and check in there to see what is happening. While you may have installed bcl2fastq is it in your $PATH?

Thank you for helping me I checked my log file seems like okay

In the end it looks like this

**Outputs:

Thank you.

Run QC metrics: null

This means the error is somewhere upstream in that file. Please check the entire file.
