The Illumina NovaSeq 6000 Integration v2.5.0 supports the integration between Clarity LIMS and the NovaSeq 6000 instrument. This integration also provides support for Clarity LIMS v6.2.0 and includes updates to the technology stack and third party libraries and utilities.

  • Clarity LIMS is automatically stopped during installation of the RPM and will need to be restarted.

  • The file-based and API-based integrations cannot run at the same time. When the API-based integration has finished installing, shut down Clarity LIMS and uninstall the file-based integration.

This document provides instructions for installing NovaSeq 6000 Integration v2.5.0. It also describes the components that are installed in the default configuration.

Prerequisites

NovaSeq 6000 Integration v2.5.0 has the following prerequisites:

  • Mount run data network-attached storage (NAS) share

  • Secret Util is installed

  • IPP is installed

Prerequisite 1: Mount Run Data NAS Share

Mounting the NAS share of run data is needed to capture and generate files associated with the sequencing run. To mount NAS shares that contain data from the Clarity LIMS server, set up the following Write privileges as the glsai user:

  • Sample sheet directory — This directory is where the Prepare Files for NovaSeq script writes sample sheets.

  • Run recipe directory — This directory is where the Prepare Files for NovaSeq script writes run recipe files in the JSON format.

Set up the Read privileges as the glsjboss and glsai users (or as the entire claritylims group) for the run output directory. This directory is where the sequencing service looks for run folders. The run folders must be in this directory. The service does not search sub-directories.

The sample sheet, run recipe, and run output directories can be configured independently and do not have to be on the same mount or share.

Prerequisite 2: Secret Util Installation

Installation

NovaSeq 6000 Integration v2.5.0 supports both on-premise and cloud integrations. This integration is distributed as the following RPM packages:

  • BaseSpaceLIMS-novaseq-extensions

  • BaseSpaceLIMS-novaseq-sequencing-service (depends on BaseSpaceLIMS Automation Worker v1.x)

The BaseSpaceLIMS-novaseq-extensions RPM installs the following items:

  • Protocols and steps

  • Validation workflow

  • Database properties that configure the service

  • novaseq-extensions.jar file that provides sample sheet generation and other utility scripts

The BaseSpaceLIMS-novaseq-sequencing-service RPM installs the following items:

  • Bash scripts to run the novaseq_seqservice through systemctl

  • novaseq-sequencing.jar

  • novaseq-remote-extensions.jar file that contains scripts that need access to the run folders on the NAS

On-Premise Installation

Use the following instructions to install the BaseSpaceLIMS-novaseq-extensions and BaseSpaceLIMS-novaseq-sequencing-service RPMs on the Clarity LIMS server.

Install the RPMs
  1. On the Clarity LIMS server, log in as the root user.

  2. Run the following yum commands to install the RPMs:

    ℹ You must include the --enablerepo command line argument. Illumina Support provides the repo file and appropriate name to use.

    yum install BaseSpaceLIMS-novaseq-extensions --enablerepo=<< repo name info from support >>
    yum install BaseSpaceLIMS-novaseq-sequencing-service --enablerepo=<< repo name info from support >>
  3. Enter y to confirm that you want to proceed with the RPM installations.

  4. If Secret Util is not installed or configured, you must configure it before proceeding. As the glsjboss user, run the following script:

    bash /opt/gls/clarity/config/pending/05_configure_claritylims_secretutil.sh

    ℹ For the on-premise installation, the Illumina Vault server is not available for public access.

    In the configuration, make sure the system passwords are configured correctly in File mode.

  5. [Optional] If you are upgrading from a previous integration, check for any usages of the Custom API Username in the current system as follows.

    1. Install ClarityLIMS-UpgradePreValidation.

    2. Check for any custom API username requirements (e.g., novaseq_user).

      Typically, the default API user name is apiuser.

    3. Run the following script:

      /opt/gls/ClarityUpgradeValidation/bin/checkUsernameConfiguration.sh
    4. After the script is complete, check that a custom user is configured in the results.

      If a custom API username is configured, a warning message displays.

    5. If a custom API username is required, configure the username and password using Secret Util:

      java -jar /opt/gls/clarity/tools/secretutil/secretutil.jar -n=INTEGRATION -u= 
    6. Use the following command to make sure that the password is saved correctly in Secret Util:

Instrument Software

The NovaSeq instrument software includes the following components:

  • NovaSeq Control Software (NVCS) — Contains the user interface for setting up the sequencing run. Responsible for controlling the instrument and acquiring the images.

  • Real-Time Analysis v3 (RTA3) — Takes the images generated by the first module, processes, and analyzes them. Makes sure that data files are created and copied to the final destination folder.

  • Sequencing Analysis Viewer (SAV) — Displays the important quality metrics generated by the RTA3 software.

  • NovaSeq recipes — Provides system operation instructions for use with NovaSeq 6000 reagent kits for SP, S1, S2, and S4 flow cells.

  • Universal Copy Service — Copies output files to destinations such as final destination folder and/or BaseSpace Sequence Hub (when the instrument is configured for use with BaseSpace Sequence Hub).

Instrument Integration Configuration

For the NovaSeq API integration to work, the NovaSeq instrument must be able to communicate with Clarity LIMS through the API. Complete the following steps to configure the NVCS and confirm that you can access Clarity LIMS from the instrument.

  1. Launch NVCS and wait for the initialization process to complete.

  2. On the NVCS Settings page, do the following:

    1. Under Mode Selection, select File-Based.

    2. In the adjacent field, enter the network folder location that NVCS retrieves the JSON recipe from.

    3. In the Output Folder field, enter the default output folder location.

  3. Select Save to complete the configuration.

  4. On the NVCS home page, you can now select Sequence to log into Clarity LIMS and start a run.

Example Network Folder Structure and Database Properties

Instrument Control Software Configuration

Refer to the following examples for the configuration of the instrument control software:

  • Sample sheet directory: \\nas\novaseq\sample_sheets

  • JSON run recipes directory: \nas\novaseq\run_setup

  • Output directory: \nas\novaseq\runs

Linux Server Mount Points

Refer to the following examples for the Linux server mount points on either the Clarity LIMS or sequencing service server:

  • Sample sheet directory: /mnt/novaseq_sample_sheets

  • JSON run recipes directory: /mnt/novaseq_run_setup

  • Output directory: /mnt/novaseq_runs

Clarity LIMS Configuration Properties

Refer to the following examples for the Clarity LIMS configuration properties:

  • novaseq.runSetupFolder: /mnt/novaseq_run_setup

  • novaseq.sampleSheetPathPrefixSearchReplaceSuffixes: 1

  • novaseq.sampleSheetPathPrefixSearch.1: \\nas\novaseq\sample_sheets

  • novaseq.sampleSheetPathPrefixReplace.1: /mnt/novaseq_sample_sheets

  • novaseq.seqservice.netPathPrefixSearchReplaceSuffixes: 1

  • novaseq.seqservice.netPathPrefixSearch.1: \\nas\novaseq\runs

  • novaseq.seqservice.netPathPrefixReplace.1: /mnt/novaseq_runs

Network Folder Structure and Contents

The following examples assume the same configuration and mount points from the previous sections.

After completing the Dilute and Denature (NovaSeq 6000 v2.3) or Load to Flowcell (NovaSeq 6000 v2.3) step, an automated script copies the run recipe JSON file and sample sheet to the appropriate network locations. For example, a library tube or flow cell with the barcode AA12345-NNN would have the following directory content:

  • /mnt/novaseq_run_setup/AA12345-NNN.json (run recipe file)

  • /mnt/novaseq_sample_sheets/AA12345-NNN.csv (sample sheet)

When the NovaSeq run starts, the instrument control software creates a new run folder named after the run ID. Then, the software copies the run recipe JSON file to a Clarity LIMS subfolder inside it. For example, a run ID of 170301_A001_AHHCC would have the following directory content:

  • /mnt/novaseq_run_setup/AA12345-NNN.json

  • /mnt/novaseq_sample_sheets/AA12345-NNN.csv

  • /mnt/novaseq_runs/170301_A001_AHHCC/LIMS/AA12345-NNN.json

  • /mnt/novaseq_runs/170301_A001_AHHCC/RunInfo.xml

  • /mnt/novaseq_runs/170301_A001_AHHCC/RunParameters.xml

The NovaSeq 6000 sequencing service detects the run folder based on the presence of the three files inside it and starts the AUTOMATED NovaSeq Run (NovaSeq 6000 v2.3) step automatically.

After the sequencing run has completed, the Universal Copy Service copies the run data and InterOp files to the network drive. Then, the service creates a CopyComplete.txt file in the run folder. At this point, the directory would have the following content:

  • /mnt/novaseq_run_setup/AA12345-NNN.json

  • /mnt/novaseq_sample_sheets/AA12345-NNN.csv

  • /mnt/novaseq_runs/170301_A001_AHHCC/LIMS/AA12345-NNN.json

  • /mnt/novaseq_runs/170301_A001_AHHCC/RunInfo.xml

  • /mnt/novaseq_runs/170301_A001_AHHCC/RunParameters.xml

  • /mnt/novaseq_runs/170301_A001_AHHCC/InterOp

  • /mnt/novaseq_runs/170301_A001_AHHCC/CopyComplete.txt

The NovaSeq 6000 sequencing service detects the completed sequencing run based on the presence of the CopyComplete.txt file, executes InterOp metrics parsing for the run, and automatically completes the AUTOMATED - NovaSeq Run (NovaSeq 6000 v2.3) step.
