User Attention
Words
Two user attention words appear in Applied Biosystems user
documentation. Each word implies a particular level of observation
or action as described below:
Note: Provides information that may be of interest or help but is not
critical to the use of the product.
IMPORTANT! Provides information that is necessary for proper
software operation.
Examples of the user attention words appear below:
Note: Names for Reference Segments are not editable.
IMPORTANT! Do not click OK until you have completed the RDG.
Safety
Conventions
Safety Alert Words
Four safety alert words appear in Applied Biosystems user
documentation at points in the document where you need to be aware
of relevant hazards. Each alert word implies a particular level of
observation or action, as defined below:

Definitions
IMPORTANT! – Indicates information that is necessary for proper
instrument operation, accurate chemistry kit use, or safe use of a
chemical.
– Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that,
if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be
used to alert against unsafe practices.
– Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
– Indicates an imminently hazardous situation
that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal
word is to be limited to the most extreme situations.
Examples
The following examples show the use of IMPORTANT, CAUTION,
and WARNING safety alert words:
IMPORTANT! The sample name, run folder name, and path name,
combined, can contain no more than 250 characters.
MUSCULOSKELETAL AND REPETITIVE
MOTION HAZARD. These hazards are caused by potential risk
factors that include but are not limited to repetitive motion, awkward
posture, forceful exertion, holding static unhealthy positions, contact
pressure, and other workstation environmental factors.
Do not attempt to lift or move the computer or
the monitor without the assistance of others. Depending on the
weight of the computer and/or the monitor, moving them may require
two or more people.

Workstation Safety
Correct ergonomic configuration of your workstation can reduce or
prevent effects such as fatigue, pain, and strain. Minimize or
eliminate these effects by configuring your workstation to promote
neutral or relaxed working positions.
MUSCULOSKELETAL AND REPETITIVE
MOTION HAZARD. These hazards are caused by potential risk
factors that include but are not limited to repetitive motion, awkward
posture, forceful exertion, holding static unhealthy positions, contact
pressure, and other workstation environmental factors.
To minimize musculoskeletal and repetitive motion risks:
Use equipment that comfortably supports you in neutral
working positions and allows adequate accessibility to the
keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
Position the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to promote relaxed
body and head postures.

New Features in SeqScape Software v2.5
SeqScape® Software Version 2.5 includes the following new features
and enhancements:
Support for sample files generated by the Applied Biosystems
3130/3130xl Genetic Analyzers.
An optional electronic signature feature that allows you to
review and electronically sign-off an audit trail (see page 9-3).
The ability to replace “?” with another character when exporting
a consensus sequence (see page 9-14).
Integration with VariantSEQr Resequencing System to provide
an easy and accurate data analysis solution (see page 7-19).
The ability to allow a sample that has a sample-level
heterozygous indel mutation (HIM) to assemble by skipping the
filtering step in the analysis pipeline. Assembling the consensus
sequence without filtering enables a specimen-level HIM to be
detected in the Mutation Report (see page 8-7).
Support for the new KB Basecaller v1.2 – The KB Basecaller,
which calls pure or mixed bases with quality values, has been
updated to correctly call the bases generated by the 3130/3130xl
instruments (see the KB Basecaller v1.2 FAQ, PN 4362968).
Additional KB basecalling status indicators in the Analysis QC
Report (see page 7-27).
The ability to label the specimen review status (see page 7-8).
The ability to automatically export projects after auto-analysis
(see page B-9).
The ability to selectively delete layers from the Reference Data
Group (see page 6-33).
BLAST Searching with the Celera Discovery System Online
Platform (see page H-11).

Features of Earlier Versions of SeqScape Software
Features of v2.1 The following features and enhancements were introduced in
SeqScape software v2.1:
• Optimization
Faster project load and import
Analysis pipeline time is 33% faster
Data analysis
Automatic analysis Integration for automatic analysis with
Applied Biosystems 3730/3730xl Data Collection Software
version 2.0 and ABI PRISM® 3100/3100-Avant Data
Collection Software version 2.0
M13 primer trimming – Trims the M13 universal primer
sequence from the PCR product
3 clear range trimming – Trims PCR primer sequences
New Basecallers – KB basecallers identify pure and mixed
bases, then assign quality values for data generated on
ABI PRISM® 310, 3100, and 3100-Avant systems and Applied
Biosystems 3730 and 3730xl systems
• Microsoft® Windows® XP OS compatibility
•Reports
NT Mutations report – Shows the amino acid effect of each
mutation and hyperlinks link the nucleotide variant with the
amino acid variant (and vice versa).
New Genotyping report – Identifies the genotype at one or
more positions of all the specimens in the project and
provides coverage of the samples against the expected
coverage based on the targeted sequence.
Specimen Statistics report – Provides the position of the
clear range on the reference of the samples on the segment
Amino Acid report – Provides the option of displaying the
amino acid full name or three-letter symbol
Specimen heterozygous indel mutation (HIM) identification
Mutations report lists HIMs
Chapter 1 Introduction to SeqScape Software

Amino acid alignment can be coupled to the nucleotide
alignment
Sequence Collector/BioLIMS software is no longer supported
Features of v2.0 The following features were introduced in SeqScape Software v2.0:
Extended Reference Data Group – SeqScape Software v2.0
contains an extended reference data group (RDG). The RDG
contains a known reference sequence and any known nucleotide
or amino acid variants. The RDG available in this new version
of the software enables analysis of simple or complex projects.
The Reference Sequence within the RDG can be a:
Contiguous reference sequence with a single reading frame.
Contiguous reference sequence with multiple reading frames.
Reference sequence constructed from several reference
segments. Each segment can come from different locations in
the genome.
The reference sequence can contain features such as exons,
introns, splice junctions, primer-binding sites, and promoter
regions.
Heterozygous insertion/deletion mutation – SeqScape
identifies potential instances of this variant which often require
manual review by trained personnel.
Library searching – You can compare each consensus
sequence to a sequence library to identify the closest match
genotype, allele or haplotype.
Enhanced reports – You can customize reports. Each variant in
the report is hyperlinked to the sequence data, providing rapid
transition from results to data. The results reports eliminate the
need to manually record results. You can automatically sort and
reorganize any report.
Password protection and audit trail – The software protects
your data by providing password protection, automatic lockout
when the software is inactive, and three levels of access control.
An audit trail records each manual insertion, deletion, or base
modification, with reasons for each change.
