Editing Controls

FinchTV 1.4 and above is also a client for viewing DNA sequencing chromatogram files stored in a Finch Server. Additionally, with appropriate licensing Finch Servers can be configured to accept edited data from FinchTV and store edits made to sequences as versions of the read. Laboratories can configure whether the ability to save edits is open to Finch Users (Scientist and above) or restricted to Laboratory Users (Technician and above). Finch Server administrators can set read editing options in their Finch Server by navigating to the Chromatogram Manager Settings under Admin > Finch Settings and selecting the desired option.

Accessing Chromats

Finch Servers have a variety of pages where chromatogram data can be downloaded and viewed in FinchTV. Key pages include Folder Contents, Chromatogram Details and Chromatogram Revision History. Core Laboratories can also use the Release Queue pages to review and edit data before they distribute files to their customers. Data are downloaded from these and other pages that display the FinchTV icon (or ), by clicking the icon and selecting Open File from the download windows already described.
