Note
This article is part of the Coffalyser.Net Tips & Tricks collection.
Coffalyser.Net allows you to quickly select samples to use for the comparative analysis based on their FMRS score and/or sex. This is particularly handy when your experiment holds a large number of samples.
Warning
When Coffalyser.Net is used in a diagnostic setting and/or when it is used in combination with probemixes for IVD use, only samples with 4 green bars for the FMRS should be included in the comparative analysis.
To select samples based on their FMRS score:
- Right-click somewhere in the comparative analysis tab of your experiment.
- Select Select Samples For Analysis and select the desired minimal FMRS score from the list.
- All samples with this and higher FMRS scores have now been selected for analysis.
Note
You can also use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + Shift + 0 to 4 to select samples based on their FMRS score. See this article about keyboard shortcuts for more information.
To select just male or female samples with a certain FMRS score:
- Right-click somewhere in the comparative analysis tab of your experiment.
- Select Select Samples For Analysis > All Samples With Detected Y Control Fragment for male samples, or Select Samples For Analysis > All Samples Without Detected Y Control Fragment for female samples, and select the desired minimal FMRS score from the list.
