What are the colours shown in the MinKNOW™ graphs indicating?
What are the colours shown in the MinKNOW™ graphs indicating?
The graphs within MinKNOW such as the Channel states panel and Pore activity reflect the real-time status of the sequencing run. The different states are represented by different colours.
Below is an example of the Channels Panel of a MinION sequencing run.
- Sequencing (light green): a DNA strand translocating through a single pore.
- Pore Available (dark green): a single open pore that is not currently capturing DNA
- Unavailable (dark blue): a single pore with a stalled DNA strand that is no longer translocating, or a current range that is too high to be meaningful.
- Inactive (light blue): a channel that cannot be rescued and will no longer be able to sequence. Reasons can include the current being outside the detector limit or the presence of multiple pores.
- Unclassified (white): a channel that MinKNOW has not yet classified into one of the states described above.
You can click the Show detailed button to reveal a more detailed array of channel states and the details of these states. For more information, please refer to the Checks and monitoring section of the MinKNOW manual.
