The following table describes each of the workflows available in the Combine/Reanalyze Existing Assemblies tab of the Workflow screen.

Group Workflow Description
Combine/Reanalyze Combine existing assemblies Once you have prepared individual assemblies for projects of the same type (e.g., two or more RNA-Seq assemblies) using the same reference sequence, this workflow lets you merge them into a single ArrayStar (.astar) project. You can then perform downstream analysis in ArrayStar and/or send data from ArrayStar to DNASTAR’s genome visualizer, GenVision Pro.
Rerun analysis of existing assemblies This workflow, available to local users only, reanalyzes existing .assembly packages from one or more workflows and puts them into a single ArrayStar-readable project (.astar). First use SeqMan NGen to create templated assemblies for various projects, using the same reference sequence for each.Then create the merged SeqMan NGen assembly by following this workflow. Perform downstream analysis in ArrayStar and/or send data from ArrayStar to DNASTAR’s genome visualizer, GenVision Pro.

Examples of when reanalysis is indicated include:

  • After adding a new replicate

  • After changing the normalization method

  • After adding VAD information.
