Software. This chapter describes how to create, import, and manage assays, and how

to copy and edit an assay, including a system-installed assay. If you are using a

system-installed assay without change, proceed to Chapter 4, “Enter samples and

libraries“.

About assays in Genexus

™

Software

Assays contain the settings and parameters for library preparation, templating,

controlling the sequencing run, and analyzing the results. Assays also define the

panels, kits, and chips that are used in a run, and specify the reference files and

threshold values for quality control and variant detection. Assays are created from

system-installed templates.
An assay is a reusable experimental design that contains predefined settings suitable

for use with common types of research applications. An assay can be used to create

many run plans and play an important role in enabling rapid throughput across your

sequencing instrument. Assays help reduce the chances of errors, because information

is stored and then applied to run plans instead of entered manually for each run.
An assay can be copied and edited for a different use. Before you can create a custom

assay, you must add a panel file, and hotspot and copy number baseline files (if

needed for your assay), to the software. Custom assays are for advanced users. For

assistance, contact your local Field Service Engineer.
