Module: Request::SampleCompoundAliquotTransfer

Included in:
SequencingRequest
Defined in:
app/models/request/sample_compound_aliquot_transfer.rb

Overview

Module to provide support to handle creation of compound samples from the list of samples at the source. A compound sample is a sample that represents a combination of other samples.

The reason for this is to ensure that when the data gets to the MLWH, each row has a unique combination of tag1 and tag2 - this is a requirement for the Illumina de-plexing that NPG does.

tag_depth on aliquot is used to indicate that, even though certain aliquots might share the same tags, they can in fact be separated out by other means (e.g. by genotype, because they have been sequenced before).

In the case where multiple aliquots share the same tag1 tag2 combo, we represent them as a single aliquot with a single sample in the target Lane, but link the sample back to its component sample using the SampleCompoundComponent join object.

Assumptions: - This module will be included in a Request class

#compound_samples_needed? ⇒ Boolean

Indicates if a compound sample creation is needed, by checking if any of the source aliquots share the same tag1 and tag2

Returns:

#transfer_aliquots_into_compound_sample_aliquots ⇒ Object

Groups the source aliquots by their tag1 and tag2 combination For each of these groups, find or create a compound sample.
