Opening a sample

The Variant Interpreter is organized around samples. You reach a sample's variants through the Data Page, then open the analysis you want to review.

The path to the interpreter

1. To open the Variant Interpreter, navigate to the Data Page from the left hand navigation.

2. Select the instrument whose samples you want to review. The Data Page then loads the sample list for that instrument. See The Data Page.

3. Locate your sample, for example the proband, using the sample name, and select it to open its sample details page.

4. On the sample details page, find the workflow run you want to interpret. NOTE: Only a run that succeeded can be opened for review.

5. Click the succeeded run, then click Review analysis to open the sample in the Variant Interpreter where you will land on the Summary tab.

A sample can have more than one workflow run. Confirm you're opening the run you intend to interpret, the workflow and caller versions that produced it are recorded in the sample drawer and carry through to the report. See Pipeline & caller versions.

If a sample shows no succeeded run, there is nothing to interpret yet, the upstream analysis either hasn't finished or failed. The Data Page shows each sample's workflow status so you can tell at a glance.
