Advantages

For new projects, a sample table can be automatically created from a tab-delimited text file.  There are several advantages of creating a sample table in this manner:

  • You can define multiple samples and attributes even before data has been imported, and therefore you can:
    • customize the name of your samples (and not use the automatic sample names generated based on file names)
    • import sample sheets as defined by the instrument that generated your data
  • You can simultaneously create the sample table and import data, which allows you to:
    • combine several files into one sample
    • import data located in multiple subdirectories

Creating and Selecting the Text File

The text file must be created outside of Partek® Flow® (using other software such as Partek® Genomics Suite®, Microsoft® Excel® or any other text editor). A valid text file is a tab-delimited text file that contains at least one column that has unique entries (to be used as Sample IDs) and may have additional columns with sample information such as experimental attributes and (optional) filenames.
