What's covered here?
This guide gives you an overview of concepts and methods involved in working with Ion Torrent analysis data.
The Introduction covers the Torrent Browser tabs and how you use templates and planned runs to control your sequencing runs.
A high-level view of the run data flow, On Dataflow , should give you a point of reference for understanding the different stages of an analysis run.
Learn how to start and monitor a run by reading Start a Run .
Learn the basics of how to access and interpret the reports generated by a run, in View Runs and Reports .
Finally, in What's Next , you can find suggestions for additional reading that gives you more in-depth information about the concepts you have just learned.
