Fragment Analysis Procedures
The CEQ System Fragment Analysis module estimates DNA fragment sizes and
amounts and identifies alleles represented by specific DNA fragments. Parameters
used to identify alleles are organized as locus tags that can be customized by the user.
The results of the analyses may be viewed, exported and printed.
Analyzing fragment or allele data with the CEQ System software is readily carried out
with the use of “Studies”. A “Study” represents a collection of quality sample results
used for locus tag generation, genotyping, quantitation, or AFLP profile generation.
Ultimately, a Study contains a common group of sample results which are analyzed
and exported together. The user defines a Study by selecting the samples to be
included and then applying the parameters used to analyze the fragment data or allele
data.
