NextGENe Online Help : The NextGENe AutoRun Tool : Working With NextGENe AutoRun Pre-Built Templates : To select the samples and reference for a NextGENe AutoRun pre-built template
To select the samples and reference for a NextGENe AutoRun pre-built template
1. Do one of the following:
• On the NextGENe main menu, click Tools > NextGENe AutoRun.
• On the Start menu, select All Programs\SoftGenetics\NextGENe\NG_<Version>\NG_AutoRun.
The NextGENe AutoRun window opens.
2. On the NextGENe AutoRun main menu, click Tool > Job Editor.
The Job Editor dialog box opens. It contains a placeholder for creating a job, which is identified with the default name of Job<#>, for example, Job1.
3. On the Template dropdown list, select the appropriate pre-built template.
All the Settings file are loaded for the selected template. The full path for the Alignment Settings file is displayed in the Process and report settings file field. You cannot edit any of these settings.
4. For each sample that is to be analyzed, click Load in the Input sequence files pane to open a dialog box, and then browse to and select the files.
The job name is automatically updated based on the file name of the first file loaded, but you can modify as needed.
 
* 
You can load multiple samples for analysis with the same job options and then use the Group Jobs option to automatically group samples into separate jobs. The same job options are applied to all the separate job files. See To group jobs.
5. In the Output field, leave the default value for the location of the output files as is (the directory path for the first data file added), or click Set to select a different location.
6. In the Reference pane, click Select, and then select the appropriate preloaded reference. (See To load a preloaded reference.)
7. Optionally, do any of the following as needed; otherwise, go to Step 8.
• Save the job file.
• Add a new job to the job file.
• Delete a job.
• Duplicate a job.
• Group samples into jobs.
 
* 
See Main menu and Toolbar for a detailed discussion about the accessing these options.
8. Click OK.
If you have not already clicked Save to save the job file, then you are prompted to specify a file name and location for the job file and after you save the file, the Job Editor dialog box closes; otherwise, the Job Editor dialog box simply closes. You have now created the necessary job files.
