Work with Test Fragments

Use the Admin References tab to enter the test f ragment nucleotide sequence to search for within the sequenced nucleic acids. You can give a Name label and Key to your test f ragment sequence.

If any sequence is detected in the system that matches a template sequence, information about the sequence is displayed in the Test Fragment Report section of the Torrent Browser Analysis Report Guide .

Ion Torrent Software provides four test f ragments by default.

Access the Test Fragments section by clicking on the Admin gear menu (near the top right of a Torrent Browser page) and clicking the References option:

In the Admin References tab, click the Test Fragment option in the left navigation panel:

The Test Fragment listing page opens:

Click on a test fragment name to see its complete sequence.

Be sure to enter the test f ragment sequence using only the uppercase letters: A, T, C and G. If you enter an invalid character or duplicate test fragment, you are not be able to save your changes.

Contact your Ion Torrent representative if you have questions about the test f ragment templates installed in your Torrent Browser.
