creating a Study. After the samples in your Study have been analyzed, you will have
the opportunity to include additional results in the new Study.

Selecting the Components of the New Study
The first step in creating a new Study involves manually “filtering” data from the
database by selecting the samples you would like to include in your Study. This is the
first level of filtering .
Following analysis of these samples, you will have the opportunity to further “filter”
the sample results (
second level filtering ) in the Result Set View .
Finally, you will “filter” the generated fragment and allele data ( third level filtering ) in
the Fragment List . What remains will be a collection of identified fragments and
alleles that exactly match the requirements of your Study.
