GENica MARKER TOOLS TAGS

Description

• "Tagging" a marker or a sample in 'GENica Marker Tools' is similar to adding a record to a "clip board" or a "marked list" and saving this "clip board" or "marked list" for future reference:
  1. Use a tag to group, retrieve and export data base entries.
  2. Use a tag to submit markers to one of the two available "BINNER" applications:
     • BINNER»MRT TAGS uses MRT^TM markers tagged with a "Markers Tag" or a "GEMDB Tag" as input for binnning.
     • BINNER»SNP TAGS] uses SNP markers tagged with a Markers Tag" or a "SNPDB Tag" as iniput for binning.
  3. Submit tagged GEMDB entries as input to the GEMDB "Conflict Finder"
  4. Use tags to delete samples or markers from the genotype databases:
     • Use "GEMDB Sample Tags" and "GEMDB Tags" to delete samples or markers from the GEMDB genotype database.
     • Use "DARTS Sample Tags" and "DARTS Tags" to delete samples or markers from the DARTS genotype database.
     • Use "SNPDB Sample Tags" and "SNPDB Tags" to delete samples or markers from the SNPDB genotype database.
  5. Use "Sample Tags" to update the "Species" entries for samples you have imported into one of the genotype databases:
     • Use "GEMDB Sample Tags" to update the "Species" information for tagged GEMDB samples.
     • Use "DARTS Sample Tags" to update the "Species" information for tagged DARTS samples.
     • Use "SNPDB Sample Tags" to update the "Species" information for tagged SNPDB samples.

• Although a tagged entry remains in its original database location, it now also forms part of a tag. This allows grouping entries from different projects, marker sets, user groups, runs, etc., without having to save new "copies" of these entries in the database.
• To add a new or existing tag to markers or samples, please refer to the manual sections on:
  • Tagging markers
  • Tagging GEMDB search results
  • Tagging DARTS search results
  • Tagging SNPDB search results
• Tags are always "private" access; users can only view the tags they have themselves created.

How to use this option

• The TAGS main view gives an overview of a user's tags.
• The name of each tag is listed; its size gives an indication of how many tagged records it contains.
• The exact number of tagged records is shown in a "hover box" when moving the mouse cursor over the tag name.
• Click on the name of a tag to see the tagged records:
  • "Marker Tags" automatically open in the MARKERS»SEARCH interface.
  • "GEMDB Tags" and "GEMDB Sample Tags" automatically open in the GEMDB»SEARCH interface.
  • "DARTS Tags" and "DARTS Sample Tags" automatically open in the DARTS»SEARCH interface.
  • "SNPDB Tags" and "SNPDB Sample Tags" automatically open in the SNPDB»SEARCH interface.
• To access all the options available for the different types of tags, click on the relevant submenu option. See the manual sections on:
  • MARKERS
  • GEMDB
  • GEMDB SAMPLE
  • DARTS
  • DARTS SAMPLE
  • SNPDB
  • SNPDB SAMPLE
