Import panel files and parameters

You can import panel files and parameters from AmpliSeq.com for an Ion AmpliSeq™ Ready-to-Use Panel, an Ion AmpliSeq™ On‑Demand Panel, or an Ion AmpliSeq™ Made-to-Order Panel design. Each package includes a primer pool results panel file, hotspot BED files, target region files, and JSON parameters files that are required to produce your sequencing results. You can import the file package directly to the Ion Torrent™ Server, in which the files are available immediately for use in Torrent Suite™ Software. Before you can import, you must link your Ion Torrent™ Server account with your AmpliSeq.com account. Alternatively, you can manually upload panel files that you have saved to a storage location.

For an Ion AmpliSeq™ Ready-to-Use Panel and an Ion AmpliSeq™ Community Panel (but not Ion AmpliSeq™ Made-to-Order Panel), parameter settings that are optimized for the variantCaller plugin are included in your new template. You can configure the variantCaller plugin with these settings when you create the Planned Run, if desired. For details, see variantCaller plugin configuration.

Human, animal, and plant reference sequence BED files are also available for import from AmpliSeq.com.
