Add flag labels to variants of interest

You can add labels (flags) to variants of interest to add them to the default MyVariants database.

Variants that have Important or Ignore flags are automatically added to the default MyVariants database, MyVariantsDb_hg19, if the analyses were run through predefined analysis workflows. To add variants to a different MyVariants database, create or select a custom MyVariants database in the Annotation step when you create, copy, or edit an analysis workflow.

  1. Click the Analyses tab to open the list of analyses, then click an analysis of interest.

    The Analysis Results table opens.

  2. In the  (Flag) column, expand (Flag list), then select the appropriate flag.

    Description

    Important

    The flag icon becomes orange in the row of the variant and the variant is added to the MyVariants database. Important is used to track variants that are relevant to the research.

    Ignore

    The flag icon becomes gray in the row of the variant and the variant is added to the MyVariants database. Ignore is often used to denote known false positives or false negatives, or variants that are not associated with the research area.

    None

    All variants are marked None by default. Select None to remove an Important or Ignore flag and to remove a variant from the MyVariants database.
