STR Analysis viewer reports
Three reporting options are available under the Report menu command on the STR Analysis viewer main menu. If the Report option is selected for an allele in the STR Results Table pane, then the allele is included in the reports. By default, when you generate any STR Analysis viewer report, the report is named <project sample name>_<report option>_report.<format>, such as 2800M_ngs_str_allele_report.tsv, and the project folder is selected as the folder for saving the generated report. You can edit the report name, but not the format, and you can select a different folder in which to save the report.
• NGS STR Allele Report. The NGS STR Allele report includes the following information for each allele: the Marker, the Allele Name, the Bracket Sequence, the Allele Total Count, the User Call, and the User Comment. You can generate this report in one of two formats: tab-separated values (*.tsv) or .fasta format.
• CE STR Allele Report. The CE STR Allele report includes the following information for each allele: the Marker, the Allele (which actually represents a particular sequence) and the corresponding “height” or read count for the allele sequence. Two options are available for this report: a “non-gm” report and a “gm” report. Both reports are a
tab-separated values (*.tsv) file and both reports provide the same information, but in a different layout (organization of the file information), where:
a. The CE STR layout is easy to parse for downstream applications.
b. The CE STR GM layout is appropriate for exporting data to the MaSTR™ software application and the STRmix™ software application.
