1. Navigate to the Upload Page
From anywhere on the app, you can expand the navigation menu by clicking on the hamburger icon on the upper left side of the screen.

2. Upload Your Samples Based on Analysis Type
Once on the upload page, either drag and drop your files or click the page to open your file browser and select your samples that you would like to upload.


To upload paired end files, be sure to select them or drag and drop them together (at the same time). You will then be prompted to confirm the pairs so they can be combined for analysis.
Paired End File Naming
Paired end files must be fastq files and named with “_R1” or “_R2” followed by either “_001”, “_002”, etc. followed by the sequencing suffix (.fastq only). Examples of acceptable paired end names: Seqrun1_L001_R1.fastq.gz Seqrun1_L001_R2.fastq.gz Seqrun1_R1_001.fastq.gz Seqrun1_R2_001.fastq.gzOccasionally a sample will fail to upload. Here are a number of possible causes:
- Poor internet connection
- Internet connection interruption
- Browser closed while uploading
- If a sample fails to upload, you can retry it
- If a sample is not in the proper format or fails to run for another reason, the status will show “failed” and you will not be charged a credit.
- If you have problems uploading or with a failed sample, please contact us on the app chat or support@cosmosid.com
