I am trying to understand how data that was uploaded to SRA (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra?LinkName=biosample_sra&from_uid=4510743) can be analyzed with the assumption that the FASTQ file should contain replicate information (3 replicates within the sample). I downloaded the file and ran it with Nextflow, and it was mapped to the human genome and determined to contain unstranded reads of 50bp, both directions.
Which steps can I take to infer if the FASTQ file indeed is not demultiplexed?
Many thanks, Geo
The header of the FASTQ looks like this:
