CEQ (.cq*)
If you select the CEQ format, the format native to our database, you will export
sample data, sequence or fragment results, sample plate results, sequence or
fragment analysis parameters, sample plates, methods, locus tags (fragment data
only), standards (fragment data only), and optical scan data. The sample elements
are automatically selected in the Export dialog box, such that all of the associated
information listed above will be exported. This format essentially takes a
“snapshot” of the file and is able to retain all of the information belonging to that
file.
This format can only be used when importing data into the Data Manager. This
format can also be used when exporting data from the Sequence and the
Fragment Analysis modules and the Data Manager.
When exporting as CEQ data, the various data types are exported to files with the
following extensions:
Sequence Analysis Parameter CQA
CEQuence Investigator CQC
Fragment Size Standard CQD
Fragment Analysis Parameter CQF
Galvo Scan Data CQG
Fragment Locus Tags CQL
Method CQM
SNP Locus Tag CQN
Sequence Result CQR
Sample Data CQS
Sample Table CQT
Fragment Result CQU
Sample Table Result CQX
Remove CEQ
Tracking
Suffix
You may automatically remove the plate position coordinates (*.A01, *.B02,
etc.) and the time/date stamp from the sample name which is normally generated
by the CEQ software on export. To do so, check Remove CEQ Tracking Suffix.
Resolve
Filename
Conflicts
If the system encounters the same sample name at the destination, the name will
normally be overwritten (this may happen if you choose to remove the plate
position coordinates and the time/date stamp which ensures a unique name). If
you check Resolve Filename Conflicts the system will increment the sample
name(s) on export when it encounters a sample(s) with the same name(s). For
example, if the system encounters the duplicate sample name of Fred on export,
the system will rename the file exported to Fred_1.
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”.
