Updating Reads

This section describes how to update Reads for a given checklist. The Reads update process is similar to the Reads submission process. Therefore, please refer to the Reads Submission section for more information.

Note

  • Reads must be uploaded before they can be updated.

  • Updates to reads can only be done if the values in the Sample, File checksum, File name and Library layout remain the same in the manifest. If any of these values change, errors will occur during the update process.

    This is because the value in the Sample column serves as the key for each row in the Reads manifest. Each unique sample in the manifest corresponds to a different biosample which is linked or tied to the value in the File checksum, File name and Library layout columns.


  1. On the Reads’ web page, click the checklist dropdown then, choose a desired checklist from the list of available checklists that you would like to update a Reads for.

    Then, click the add-reads-manifest-button button as shown below to update a Reads for the chosen checklist as shown below:

    Note

    The colour of the add-reads-manifest-button button is based on the type of profile that you are updating a Reads for.

    See the Profile Types Legend section regarding the colour code for the various types of project profiles on COPO.
