Filter by database

The Database screen is the one of several screens for filtering a multi-sample Variants view or set, and lets you filter variants in the Variants view based on their presence/absence in the dbSNP database and/or their minimum Genomic Evolutionary Rate Profiling (GERP) score. GERP scores are a measure of sequence conservation across multiple species.

• Use the dbSNP drop-down menu to choose from Present, Absent, or All.

• To filter based on a minimum GERP score threshold, check the box next to Min. GERP score and enter a value in the text box.

Once you have made your selections, do any of the following:

• To select additional filtering options in the wizard, click Experiment, Type, Impact, or Alignment on the left of the wizard. If you are filtering a variant set, you can also click Name to overwrite the default name and notes for the set.

• To apply the screen options and keep the wizard open, click Apply. Note: Once you press Apply, the button becomes temporarily disabled. When you make further changes to the filter, the button is once again enabled.

• To apply the screen options and close the wizard, click OK.
