# What are the input file requirements for the SV pipeline?

We recommend between 50 and 500M paired-end reads for the SV pipeline.

As a reminder, the FASTQ files you get from the sequencer for each sample you sequence typically contain one file of forward reads (R1) and one file of reverse reads (R2), so you will have two .fastq files per sample.
