Adding, managing, renaming, combining, and deleting studies. A study is a construct that helps you organize and track the data sets and settings associated with a particular study or project. See the Studies page for more information. All data sets of the same type (for example, wide ) per study must be found in the same folder. Running and building workflows . A workflow is a sequence of processes to run in a specific order -- an analytical pipeline. Once built, a workflow can be repeatedly called, eliminating the need to repeatedly set parameters for each of the individual processes. See the Workflows page for more information. Tall or wide Input Data Set s , Experimental Design Data Set (EDDS) s , and/or Annotation Data Set s , depending on the underlying processes. Examining and converting genetic data, determining relatedness measures and marker statistics, performing genome-wide and other association testing, conducting haplotype analyses, working with linkage and associated maps, and analyzing breeding data. Tip : Explore data quality and evaluate the need for normalization before using these processes. Construction of continuous or categorical outcome predictors using data from genetic markers, microarrays , or proteomics as predictor variables . Model comparison and data preparation utilities are also available. Viewing, adjusting, and combining p-values in preparation for more detailed analyses. Must contain at least one column containing p -values (or effects). Generating a graphical representation of genes and other features of a genome superimposed on statistical graphics. Interactive utilities, as well as those for clearing parameter defaults, customizing the Starter , and rebuilding dialogs .
Following the import of data (an Experimental Design File (EDF) is sometimes required), Tall and Wide Data Sets (which are SAS Data Sets ) are the most common primary Input Data Set s required throughout JMP Genomics. Less common are stacked , square , and other specialized varieties. (See Other Types of Data Sets .) In many cases, an additional Experimental Design Data Set (EDDS) , Annotation Data Set , or settings file is either specifiable or required. See Data Sets Used in JMP Genomics Processes and the documentation for individual processes for additional information.
