The STR Analysis viewer is an interactive view-only tool that you use to view the results of a simultaneous analysis of autosomal- and Y-STRs and the mitochondrial data for your project samples. You first use the STR Analysis viewer to view a summary of the autosomal- and Y-STRs analysis results for your project. If applicable, you can then open the Mito Alignment viewer directly from the STR Analysis viewer and view the mtDNA alignment data for the project. When you open a sample file for any project in the STR Analysis viewer, the filter settings that were in place at the time that the project was saved determine the alleles that were called for the project, but you can always edit these settings as needed to better suit your working needs. See STR Analysis Viewer STR and STR Stutter Filter Settings.

The STR Analysis viewer has two distinct but interactive panes: the Histogram Viewer pane and the STR Results pane. By default, when the viewer first opens, the Histogram Viewer pane is displayed on the left and the Results Table pane is displayed on the right. Both panes provide a way to navigate project results with the Histogram Viewer pane providing an image of the project results and the STR Results pane providing a tabulated display of the project results. The pane displays are linked. If you double-click a histogram, then the focus in the STR Results Table pane is changed to the corresponding results, which are highlighted in light blue. Conversely, if you double-click any marker result in the STR Results Table pane, then the focus of the Histogram Viewer pane is set to that of the marker histogram and all the alleles for the marker are highlighted in light blue in the STR Results Table pane.

From top to bottom, the STR Results Analysis viewer has five major components:
