Annotate your hits

Our annotation feature will allow you to mark taxa at the genus and/or species level so you can keep track of your analysis. You can mark hits as “confirmed”, “not a hit”, or “inconclusive”. It should be noted that marking the hits will not affect any of the downstream analyses. You and your collaborators on the project can view the annotations on the sample report page.  Additionally, you can filter the sample report by annotation. 

To annotate:

1. Click the tag to the left of the taxon. When you hover over the tag, a dropdown will appear.

      2. If you are confident in the hit or have confirmed by BLAST, you can mark “Hit”.

      3. Annotations can be cleared at any time by choosing “None” on the dropdown menu. 

To Filter:

1. From the sample report, choose the annotation filter. Selecting an annotation type will filter down the sample report to only display taxa rows that meet the annotation type selected.
