No autocalling even though clusters are observed

Failure of autocalling of SNP results is usually due to problems associated with (select one):

Outlier wells

If an assay shows clustering around the no template control (NTC), search for an outlier sample. In some cases, the software automatically scales the plot to include the outlier giving the other samples the appearance of clustering around the NTC. If the outlier is removed from the analysis, the program rescales the plot and the data can be autocalled.

Allelic discrimination outliers

Remove the outlier(s) and reanalyze. The program will adjust the scaling and distinct clusters can be seen.

  2. The selected well(s) will appear highlighted in the plate map.
  3. Right click the well(s) and click omit.
  4. Reanalyze the plate.

Software

You can experience problems with the software if (select one):

The autocaller algorithm is disabled

To achieve automatic allele calling of cluster plots generated by an end point read, the automatic allele calling feature must be enabled.

  1. Click the Results tab.
  2. Click the Analysis Settings button.
  3. Click the Automatic Allele Calling button for the marker of choice. If the plate has been previously analyzed, deselect the Keep manual calls from previous analysis button.
  4. Analyze.

StepOne™ / StepOnePlus™ System Software 2.0

  1. Autocalling is set to default.
  2. Click the Analysis Settings  button, to switch from Manual Call to Auto Call.
  3. In the Call Settings tab, either:
    • Select Use Default Settings, or
    • Click the Autocaller Enabled box. 
  4. Click Apply Analysis Settings.

You have a low number of clusters

If only two different genotypes are present on the plate, the software will not automatically call them unless Two Cluster Calling under Function is activated.
