Library File Directory
During the installation of Partek Flow, a basic setup of library files can be performed (Figure 1). For more information, refer to the Partek Flow installation guide. Numbered figure captions
Library File Directory
The specified directory will store the library files. Partek directory is selected. Partek Flow needs to have read and write privileges to this directory and the directory should be located on a drive with sufficient storage capacity. For instance, Bowtie index files for the hg19 human reference genome are approximately 3 GB and STAR index files are approximately 15 GB. In addition, the binary .2bit file containing the hg19 reference genome, is just under 800 MB.
Assemblies
For convenience, commonly used assemblies (e.g. human, mouse, rat) can be added during installation. Their reference genomes, cytobands and most popular annotation files will be downloaded automatically. An assembly can be removed by selecting the red cross ( ) icon to the right of the species name (Figure 1, above). Assemblies can be added by clicking Add Assembly. New assemblies can also be added at a later stage (see Creating an assembly on the library file management page).
Reference Aligner Indexes
Pre-built aligner indexes for the selected assemblies can also be downloaded during installation. To include an aligner index, select the checkbox next to the aligner name. For some aligners, e.g. STAR and GSNAP, index files are not available for download. Any missing indexes can be easily built after installation (see Adding Library Files on the Library File Management Page and Adding Library Files from Within a Project).
Further Changes after Installation
For more information, refer to Launching Partek Flow for the First Time.
Library File Management Settings
To review and edit library file management settings, you must be logged into Partek Flow as a user with administrator privileges. Click on the avatar in the top right corner and choose Settings. Then click System preferences on the left. You can review the current library file directory location and privilege settings that determine whether non-administrative users can add or remove library files (Figure 21).

The library file management page has two tabs - Genomic library files and Microarray library files. This section of the user guide will focus on the Genomic library files tab, which is relevant for next-generation sequencing analysis (Figure 54).

Choosing an Assembly from the drop-down list at the top will display the associated library files in the pane below. Assemblies are named by the species and the build version (e.g. Homo sapiens (human) - hg19). Different build versions for the same species are regarded as separate assemblies (Figure 65). Administrative users can delete a selected assembly by clicking the red cross ( ).
...
Reference aligner indexes. Next-generation sequencing aligners require the reference sequence to be indexed prior to alignment, as this greatly increases alignment speed. An index consists of a set of files (Figure 76) and are generally aligner specific. For example, if you wish to align using BWA, you need a BWA index.
...
Annotation models will appear in separate tables (Figure 87). If you have multiple versions of annotation models from the same source, it is advisable to distinguish them by their date or version number.
Annotation models from commonly used sources (e.g. Refseq, ENSEMBL) are available for automatic download from the Partek repository. Because annotation models are frequently updated, these sources are checked for updates quarterly. You can check for recent updates to the Partek repository on the Partek website (http://www.partek.com/library-files-updates).
...
The aligner indexes in the Annotation models section are required if you wish to align to a subset of the genome as defined by the annotation model, e.g. target amplicons or the transcriptome. The reference sequence is still required to generate an aligner index for an annotation model. As with whole genome alignment, indexes are aligner specific, although some aligners share indexes and are version specific (see Reference aligner indexes above). The aligner indexes generated will be added to the corresponding annotation model table (Figure 87, above).
Update Library Index
The library index is a file that contains download sources for all Partek distributed library files. An automatic update of this file will occur every 24 hours (Figure 98), so this normally doesn't require any attention. If you do wish to manually update the library index, click Update Library Index at the bottom of the library file management page.
...
On the library file management page, an assembly can be added by choosing Add assembly… from the Assembly drop-down list (Figure 109). If the list is long, you may need to scroll to the bottom.

Library files can be added to an assembly by clicking the green plus ( ) icon next to the header of each section (Figure 1514) on the library file management page. This will open a dialog specific to the chosen section. If all possible library files are already associated in each section, the green plus icon will appear gray (Figure 1514).

Alternatively, click the Add library file button, choose Aligner index from the Library type drop-down list (Figure 1716, above) and whole genome from the Index to drop-down list. If an aligner index is already associated with an assembly, it will not appear in the Aligner drop-down list. If all but one of the possible aligner indexes have been added, the remaining aligner index will be the only option and will not appear in a drop-down list (Figure 2726).

If you are using an assembly supported by Partek (e.g. human), there are three radio button options: Download index; Build index or Import index (Figure 2726). Certain aligner indexes may not be available for automatic download because the file sizes are too large to download efficiently.

Click the green plus ( ) icon next to the Variant annotations section header. Alternatively, click the Add library file button and choose Variant annotations from the Library type drop-down list (Figure 1716, above)
If you are using a human - hg19 assembly, variant annotation databases from various sources will appear in the Variant annotation drop-down list (Figure 3130). Available variant annotation database sources include:
...
If you prefer to add a custom variant annotation database, perhaps from another source or 'gold-standard' validated variants, choose Add variant database from the Variant annotation drop-down list (Figure 3231). Name the variant annotation database by typing into the Custom Name box and click Create. A variant annotation database can be added from the Partek Flow Server, My Computer or a URL download link. The behavior of each option is similar to when importing a reference sequence (see Adding a reference sequence, above). When browsing for files on the Partek Flow server, only the files with relevant file extensions will be visible (.vcf and various compressed formats).

Click the green plus ( ) icon next to the SNPEff variant databases section header. Alternatively, click the Add library file button and choose SNPEff variant database from the Library type drop-down list (Figure 1716, above).
If you are using human (hg19 and hg38), mouse (mm10) or rat (rn5 and rn6) assemblies, various versions of SNPEff variant databases are available for automatic download (Figure 3332).
