To edit the bracket sequence settings

The bracket sequence settings determine how the STR results are displayed in the STR Results Table pane.

1. On the Application Settings dialog box, ensure that the Bracket Sequence Settings sub-pane is visible.

2. Edit the sequence settings as appropriate.

Setting	Description
Brackets on bases	Not selected by default. Select this setting to surround the bases in an STR in brackets. • The default format: TGAT[3] • The setting is selected: [TGAT][3]
Brackets on numbers	Selected by default. Repeat numbers for STRs are surrounded by brackets. • The default format: TGAT[3] • The setting cleared: TGAT3
Show number if “1”	Selected by default. The number 1 is displayed for only a single repeat. • The default format: [TGAT][3]TGA[1][TGAT[3] • The setting is cleared: [TGAT][3]TGA[TGAT][3]
Delimit bases and repeats	Not selected by default. No delimiters are displayed between the bases in an STR and the repeat numbers. If you select this option, and then do not specify any delimiter, the default delimiter is space. • The default format: TGAT[3]_TGA_TGAT[3] • The setting is selected: TGAT_[3]_TGA_TGAT_[3] (The specified delimiter is an underscore.) Note: You can designate any special character as a delimiter.

• If you are done specifying your settings, then click Save to close the Application Settings dialog box and return to the GeneMarkerHTS main window.

• Continue to edit other application settings as needed.
