Common Questions Related to Sequencing Analysis Viewer (SAV) software and the NextSeq 1000/2000
Sequencing Analysis Viewer (SAV) is a free software used to assess the performance of sequencing runs, and can be downloaded from the Illumina website: Sequencing Analysis Viewer
Can the Sequencing Analysis Viewer software be installed on the NextSeq 1000/2000 instrument itself?
No, none of the SAV versions currently available for download (v3.0 and earlier) are compatible for use onboard the NextSeq 1000/2000 instrument.
The v3.0 Sequencing Analysis Viewer software is compatible with Linux, will that version work onboard the NextSeq 1000/2000 instrument?
While SAV v3.0 has a Windows, Mac, and Linux version, the current Linux version is only compatible with Enterprise Linux versions (EL8+). The NextSeq 1000/2000 currently uses CentOS 7 (EL7) and as such, is incompatible.
What version of SAV should I use to view NextSeq 1000/2000 data?
Both SAV v2.5.12 and SAV v3.0 can successfully parse NextSeq 1000/2000 data to be viewed in the software.
SAV v2.5.12 is compatible with Windows computers only.
SAV v3.0 is compatible with Windows, Mac, or Linux computers.
