How can I set up auto-analysis for data in GeneMapper with the 3500 Data Collection Software version 3.x?

Beginning with 3500 Data Collection Software version 3, the 3500 Data Collection Software does not support automatic secondary analysis. This is also indicated in the software release notes. To perform secondary data analysis, you will need to manually import the .fsa file into the GeneMapper software. For optimal performance, we recommend that you install the GeneMapper Software on a stand-alone computer that is not part of the 3500 Genetic Analyzer system.

What information should I back up when using GeneMapper Software?

It is useful to back up data in order to protect yourself from data loss, clearing out the Oracle database to keep it from filling up, and/or for sending data to Technical Support for troubleshooting.

In GeneMapper Software, there are 3 locations where you will need to back up data:

1. Panel Manager - contains information on your Panels, Markers, and Bins.
2. GeneMapper Manager - contains information pertaining to the Project itself - Projects, Analysis Methods, Size Standard Definitions, Table Settings, Plot Settings, Matrices (ABI PRISM 310 Genetic Analyzer Only), Cluster Plot Settings, SNP Sets, and Report Settings.
3. Data Files - sample data (.fsa files) that were used in the Project.

Note: Older versions of GeneMapper Software contained an Archive function that would back up the entire database at once. However, the archive could only be reimported into the same instance of GeneMapper Software. If you had a problem that required reinstallation of GeneMapper Software, it would be considered a new instance of the software and the Archive could not be imported into it.
