1.0 Getting Started Guide is an installation guide and tutorial. It
provides:
Installation instructions to help the Administrator set up the
MicroSeq® ID Analysis software.
Brief, step-by-step tasks to help users quickly learn the
MicroSeq ID Analysis software. The tasks reference tutorial
data that is supplied on the software CD-ROM.
To get the most out of this Getting Started Guide, we recommend
proceeding as follows:
Step 1 Read this “Software Basics” chapter.
Step 2 Determine which user group you belong to. See “User Groups and
Privileges” on page 1-3.
Step 3 Work through the tutorial tasks appropriate for your user group. See
“User Workflow” on page 1-4.
What is the MicroSeq ID Analysis Software?
MicroSeq® ID Analysis software version 1.0 is a tool for microbial
identification of bacteria and fungi. The software analyzes data
generated using a MicroSeq®chemistry kit and an ABI PRISM®
capillary-based genetic analyzer.
The MicroSeq ID Analysis software:
1. Compares the sequence of unknown isolate data to the
sequences of known bacteria or fungi stored in a library.
2. Generates a final identification list of organisms that are the
closest matches to the unknown.
3. Reports the percent similarity that reflects how closely the
unknown isolate matches the library sequence.
