Remember, a variety of options are available for settings preferences for a tab display, including resizing data columns, rearranging the order of data columns, and so on. (See Setting Display Preferences in the Geneticist Assistant Main Window.) Any preferences that you set for a tab display remain in effect regardless if you log out of and then log back into Geneticist Assistant. With the exception of the Sample Group columns on the Sample Variant Data sub-tab on the Sample tab and the Variant pane on the Variant tab, you can use an option on the Tab Preferences tab to apply the same column display preferences for variants in all the variant sub-tabs and panes in a single step. You can also use an option on the Tab Preferences tab to clear all the preferred settings for all the data tabs in a single step, or you can clear only the column preferences. Finally, if you have applied a variant filter to a selected sample, then you also have the option of making this filter a persistent filter, which means that if you close and then open the tab again, the filter is “remembered” and is applied again to the sample variants. When you apply a variant filter to a sample, the filter is specific only for this particular sample. Variants of any other sample are not filtered.
