Export variant calls to a file

You can export variant calls to a tab-separated file that can be opened using spreadsheet software such as Microsoft™ Excel™. The exported file is named subtable.xls and has the same columns that are included in the Variant Calls by Allele table. The file includes columns for all three display options: View Allele Annotations, View Coverage Metrics, and View Quality Metrics.

  1. In the Data tab, in the Completed Runs & Reports screen, click the report name of the run from which you want to export variant calls to a file.
  2. In the left navigation menu, click variantCaller, then open the detailed variantCaller plugin report for a specific barcode or sample.

    • In the Barcode name column in a barcoded sequencing run report, click the barcode name link.

    • In the Sample column in a report from a sequencing run that does not contain barcodes, click the sample name link.

  3. In the Variant Calls by Allele table, select the checkbox in the row of each variant that you want to export, then click Export Selected.
  4. Select Download table file of selected rows, then click OK.

    The subtable.xls file is created and downloaded to your computer.

  5. (Optional) View the file, then save it to your local storage using a descriptive file name.
