    Visualize analysis results individually from the Analysis Results screen.

    In the Analyses table, click a sample result hyperlink in the Analysis column to open the Analysis Results, then click Visualize.

  2. Click Download Report to download the Tumor Mutational Burden visualization report in PDF format, which includes the results with graphs and metrics.
  3. Scroll down to view graphical representations of the analysis results and QC metrics, and download additional files.

    Note: Multiple sample results are listed sequentially.

  4. In the lower right corner of the screen:
    • Click Download Variant Details TSV to download a tab-separated list of detected variants that contributed to the tumor mutational burden count. Open the file with compatible software, such as Microsoft™ Excel™.
    • Click Download the TMB statistic.txt file to download the tumor mutational burden output file. The file is named <analysis name>_statistic.txt. For example, NCI-1395_c3495_2020-03-03-​10-​58-​54-​007_statistic.txt.
