Overview of the Project Wizard
You use the NextGENe Project Wizard to set up a project for analyzing your Next Generation sequencing data. The NextGENe Project Wizard opens automatically when you launch NextGENe, or you can do one of the following:
• Click the Project Wizard icon

on the application toolbar.
• On the NextGENe main menu, click File > Open Project Wizard.
• On the NextGENe main menu, click Process > Project Wizard.
The first page that opens is the Application Type page.
The Project Wizard is a standard wizard consisting of multiple pages that are linked by Next and Back buttons. After you complete the steps on a page, you click Next to move to the next page. At any time, you can click Back as many times as needed and modify your selections for a previously completed step or steps. In addition to the standard Next and Back buttons, the Project Wizard has page-specific buttons that you can click to open the indicated page. These buttons are listed in the left pane of the wizard in the same order in which the pages open when you click Next. If a page is unavailable, then the page-specific button is dimmed. You have a variety of options for processing a NextGENe project in the Project Wizard.
• You can use the Save Settings function to save the settings from a project to a configuration file, and then you can use the Load Settings function to load this configuration file for use in another project. See
Saving and Loading Project Settings.
