Plugin error from demux:

No sequences were mapped to samples. Check that your barcodes are in the correct orientation (see the rev_comp_barcodes and/or rev_comp_mapping_barcodes options). If barcodes are NOT Golay format set golay_error_correction to False.

Please let me know how can i fix the above error
Thank you

@pazevedo1,

Have you tried using the rev_comp_barcodes or the rev_comp_mapping_barcodes? You might want to unzip your barcodes fastq file and look at a few of the barcodes to confirm their orientation/formatting are what you expect them to be.

It is also worth finding out if the barcodes are Golay. If they are not you will want to set --p-no-golay-error-correction when running your analysis. You may need to ask your sequencing center and/or look through any documentation they provided you with to know if this is the case.
