This happens when another privileged user is already using the interface, and prevents the potentially damaging consequences of two assignments of runs occurring simultaneously. If this happens, close the interface using the Exit option on the Action menu, and try again later. Gels not yet loaded If there are gels in the database which have not yet been marked as loaded but their date for being loaded is past, the interface will ask you if you would like to see their details in a report. Selecting Yes' displays the Unloaded Gels report as described in the section on the reports submenu below. This interface consists of one main form giving details of the number of samples to sequence and the available sequencing capacity.
Further features are available through the menus as detailed below.
The number of plates of sequence-ready samples submitted to the West Pavilion but not yet assigned to sequencing gels. Sequencing gels which have been generated by this application, but for some reason could not be run. The process of assignment Assignment of samples to machine runs is the main function of this interface and also the most complex. If a sufficiently privileged user clicks on the Assign button, the interface takes the set of plates ready to be assigned, determines how many samples are present on each plate, their sequencing chemistry, and the sequencing team which submitted them. It also determines the number and type of sequencing machines available for runs on the day indicated, the format of gel each will take and the number of times each can be loaded on that day.
