| 14 | * Regarding whether an existing wizard or a separate one should be used for selecting DNA extracts to be marked for qPCR processing, the most natural alternatives are:[[BR]][[BR]]a. Wizard "Create new start DNA plate" could be updated in step 2 (DNA extract selection) with a check box for marking all extracts not selected as destined for qPCR processing.[[BR]]b. A new wizard where a start list is selected in step 1, and the qPCR branch setting for DNA extracts not already on a start DNA plate can be modified.[[BR]][[BR]]Alternative (b) has the advantage that an extract marked for the qPCR branch can be reset, and qPCR branch settings can be modified for extracts in a start list, that does not contain any extracts to be put on a start DNA plate. (Such a start list will never alone reach the "Registration" step in the "Create new start DNA plate" wizard.) |
