Export Sample Plate
The sample plate can be exported for use in compatible equipment or to manually edit
the plate information. To export the sample plate follow the steps below.
1. Open the sample plate that will be exported. If it is already open, make sure it has
been saved before proceeding.
2. From the menu bar, select
File | Export.
3. Select
Resolve Filename Conflicts
to prevent the file from overwriting a
previous file with the same name. If another file with the same name exists, a
suffix to the new file will be added.
If
Resolve Filename Conflicts
is not selected and a file with the same name
will be overwritten, a warning will appear asking if you want to replace the
old file with the new one. Select
Yes
to overwrite the existing file or
No
to
cancel the export.
4. Select a save location for the file.
5. Enter a filename or leave the name as it is.
6. Click
OK
.
Apply Trimming
Selecting the
Apply Trimming
option will remove the trims from the sequence before
it is exported. All internal trims will be replaced by the letter “x”.
Export Only If Sequence > X nt
The resulting sequence, after trimming, may be to small to be useful. Use the
Export
Only If Sequence > X nt
option to specify a minimum size that the sequence must be
when exporting. Only those sequences greater than the set number of nucleotides will
be exported
Reports
A report can be printed for individual samples. To do so, select the cell/cells, as
described in
“Sample Selection’ on page 124, and select the Print Report check-box.
To modify the report format, click the
Edit Print Format For Plate
button and select
the appropriate options (see Figure 80). The selections made in the Report Format
dialog will apply to all selected samples.
Trimming Log
A Trimming Log option has been added to the Report Format dialog (see Figure 80).
This log (see Figure 81) details the parameters used in Quality-based and
Sequence-based trimming. It includes the original sequence length, the length after
quality-based trimming (see
“Quality-based Trimming Tab’ on page 162), the length
after sequence-based trimming (see “Sequence-based Trimming Tab’ on page 163),
the vectors trimmed and the base sequence in its original and trimmed forms.
