INTRODUCTION
********************

This README file describes the contents in this directory.

This dataset contains raw, reprocessed, and aligned files for multiple AAV samples.

The 2021 and 2022 libraries were sequenced on the Sequel® II System and processed using SMRT® Link v10.1 or SMRT Link v11.0 [1], followed by community tool analysis [2].

The 2023-Revio-ssAAV-pAV-CMF-GFP library was sequenced on the Revio system and processed using a preliminary version of SMRT Link v13.0, followed by FormBio’s LAAVA pipeline (version 2.5.0) .

The 2026-ssAAV-Progen-AAV1_2_8_9 library was sequenced on the Revio system using SPRQ chemistry with AAV mode, followed by FormBio's LAAVA pipeline (verion 4.0.2).

********************
METHODS
********************
DNA extraction – PureLink Viral DNA/RNA Mini Kit

Library Preparation: 

Unless otherwise noted, the AAV libraries were prepared using:
Procedure & Checklist - Preparing multiplexed AAV SMRTbell® libraries using SMRTbell prep kit 3.0

In 2026-ssAAV-Progen-AAV1_2_8_9, a subset of the AAV libraries (marked "SOPmod") were generated
using a modified protocol with thermal annealing before DNA extraction.

FILE DESCRIPTION
********************

Each sample will contain the following folders:

========================
0-reads
========================

CCS reads after running "AAV" mode in Run Design via SMRT Link

0-reads/
|---- <movie>.hifi_reads.bam
|---- <movie>.hifi_reads.bam.pbi



========================
1-(demuxed)-and-mapped
========================

If samples are multiplexed, they are shown as demux individual samples here.
For each sample, the HiFi reads are mapped to the reference plasmid.
The key files are shown below.

1-mapped/
|---- <sample>_AAV_report.pdf
|---- <sample>.nonmatch_stat.csv.gz
|---- <sample>.per_read.csv
|---- <sample>.summary.csv
|---- <sample>.tagged.sorted.bam
|---- <sample>.tagged.sorted.bam.bai


This aligned sorted BAM file is what you can visualize using IGV.
