GeneMarkerHTS Project Output Files
The table below lists the files that are generated for any GeneMarkerHTS project. All files are located in the project folder.
 
File
Description
Project Settings
The settings (alignment options, motif selection, and so on) for the project.
Trim Primer Log
Lists the read sorting results for all the amplicons.
Panel Primer Match Statistics
Lists the read sorting results for all the amplicons in a tab-separated values (*.tsv) format.
Analysis Log
Contains a summary of the alignment results in a standardized .json format.
Paired End Merge Report
Generated if Merge Pairs was selected for the project. Details how many reads were merged and how many reads could not be merged.
The table below lists the files and reports that are generated for each sample in an mtDNA alignment project. All the files are located in the project folder.
 
File
Description
BAM/BAI
Contains the fully detailed alignment results.
Alignment Statistic Log
Contains a summary of the alignment results.
Consensus Sequence
Details the consensus sequence with the major alleles in FASTA format, where a major allele is defined as the allele with the highest frequency at a given position. All major alleles are reported unless the allele is the same as the reference.
Consensus Statistics
Lists the number of reads with each allele at each position in the sample.
Major Allele Report
Variant report for all major alleles.
Note: You can copy and paste a major allele string into EMPOP.
Minor Allele Report
Variant report for all minor alleles, where a minor allele is defined as any other allele with a frequency that is less than the allele with the highest frequency at a given position.
Note: You can copy and paste a minor allele string into EMPOP.
Low Coverage Report
Lists all the regions with coverages that fell below the Total Coverage threshold that was specified for the project.
Motif
Lists all the motifs that were used for the project.
Amplicon
Lists all the amplicon regions that were used for the project along with the number of reads (forward, reverse, and total) per region.
Variants
A text file saved as <Sample Name>_variants.txt. The file details all the EMPOP variants for the project sample: Major, Minor, and Combined.
Note: You can copy the variants that are detailed in this file and paste them into EMPOP to obtain the statistical information for the variants. An EMPOP direction option is also available on the main menu for the Mito Alignment viewer. See Mito Alignment viewer main menu.
