Changes to request details are reflected after batch deletion.

A request’s status is reverted to

Status
colourGreen
titleAPPROVED
when the batch it previously belonged to gets deleted. Previously, the request retained the
Status
colourYellow
titleDESIGN GENERATED
status even after the batch is deleted. When viewing ((blue star)) the details of the request, “Not Applicable” is reflected for the name and status of the batch it is linked to.

Selection of marker and assays is enhanced.

An improved user experience can be expected in the Service & Technology tab. Specifically, you can now:

  1. View default marker and assay for fixed marker groups. For 1KRiCA, the marker and its assays are all selected by default. As such, these checkboxes will be grayed out and disabled.

  2. Access pagination for markers and assays. The first 10 markers and assays are shown, while the rest can be accessed using the pagination feature.

Management of marker information is enhanced.

The following features are improved:

  1. User interface. On the Marker Groups tab, the columns for Trait Category, Trait, and Marker Group Name are now sorted in ascending order by default, while the view ((blue star)), edit ((blue star)), and delete ((blue star)) action icons are enabled alongside each marker as you edit a marker group.

  2. Download markers. You can now expect to download ((blue star)) an accurate offline copy of the markers belonging to a marker group, including its associated data.

  3. Error notification. A more informative error notification is now reflected when creating a marker group name that duplicates an already existing one. Previously, users are only notified that the new marker group has not been created, instead of showing why there was an error.

  4. Marker FNR and FPR. The system now allows values between 0 to 1 for the FNR and FPR data fields when creating or editing a marker’s information.

Service tab is improved.

When creating your genotyping request, the Services tab now displays additional data fields based on the purpose you select. There are three supported cases for this improvement:

  1. Select marker group. For purposes such as genomic selection, additional fields will be loaded to allow you to select one or more marker groups. Simply tick the checkbox beside your preferred marker group/s.

  2. Select trait/s. For purposes such as trait genotyping, additional fields will be loaded to allow you to select the trait category, trait, and marker group.

  3. No additional fields to populate. For purposes such as sequencing, there is no required marker group or trait data to be selected. Simply click Next to move to the Review tab where you can finalize your request.

Combine requests with different purposes into one batch.

Lab managers can now select and combine genotyping requests made for the same service provider/laboratory into one batch, even when their purposes vary. Also, lab managers can view and select other marker groups aside from the ones already associated to the request.

From the GSM data browser, select requests with different purposes but with the same service laboratory and proceed to Create a Batch. Select additional marker group/s in the Service & Technology tab and then Save Selection.

Editing plot or package lists is now restricted.

When lab managers edit a submitted request, the radio buttons in the Entry List tab’s data browser is now disabled. This is to prevent lab managers from changing the requestor’s selected entry list. A note describing this limitation is also reflected on the data browser. Previously, radio buttons were available in this data browser.

Batch creation is improved.

The process of creating a batch is now more intuitive. This feature is also improved through integration with Marker DB. Specifically, lab managers can now:

  1. View selected marker group/s. In the Service & Technology tab, the marker group/s selected during request creation are now checked (✅) by default. Also, lab managers can still revise the marker group selection during this step, depending on the chosen purpose.

  2. Update the request’s marker group. As you create a batch, you can now manage its marker group selection in the Service & Technology tab. Here, you can select or unselect marker groups and proceed to finalize the batch.

    24.05 GSM6.gif

  3. Select relevant service providers. In the Service & Technology tab, the Service Provider drop-down list now provides you with a list of providers applicable to the request made. For example, if a request has a marker group, only providers associated to the marker group will be available for selection in the drop-down menu.

    24.04 GSM2.gif

  4. Select relevant technologies. In the Service & Technology tab, the Technology drop-down menu list now provides you with a list of technologies applicable to the service provider selected.

    24.04 GSM3.gif

  5. Select relevant assays. In the Service & Technology tab, assays can now be selected after defining the technology. You can then proceed to Save the Selection. The selection of assays depend on the marker group associated with the request, where fixed panel groups will have assays selected by default indicated by a grayed-out checkbox.

    24.04 GSM4.gif

  6. Plate Layout. When designing the plate layout, the Plate Fill Direction is now set to “columns” by default. You can still set this to “rows” by clicking the drop-down menu. Also, you can expect the plate color for Intertek’s internal controls (H11, H12) to be green.
