Stockbook® DNA table

Stockbook® DNA table

Stockbook® DNA tab

Each animal in Stockbook® has a DNA tab associated with it. This tab is the central location for all DNA data linked to that animal.
The DNA table includes samples, test requests and results.

The DNA table location

The DNA table is visible either in the main animal list or when you view/edit an individual animal.





The DNA table contains 3 sections:

DNA Samples

A list of all DNA samples, the Date the sample was taken, the Sample ID and Sample Type (hair, TSU, etc) for the animal.

DNA Test Requests

Any test requests made using the Stockbook® "Export DNA Test Request", or imported manually. It will list all of the parameters used in the test request.

If you would like to only see test requests associated with the currently selected sample (in the DNA samples list) tick on "Only show test requests and result related to the selected sample".

Any DNA test requests done using the export DNA Test Request feature in Stockbook will automatically assign the request information to the animal.

DNA Results

This is a list of all of the test results that have been added against this animal.

Test results can be linked to an animal via a test request, a sample or the animals ID. There is a column that will show you the link origin of the result.

You can display only those results linked to the currently selected test request by ticking "Only show test results related to select test request".



DNA in Live Entry

Only DNA samples can be entered via Live Entry. You can enter the sample ID and the sample type (TSU, Hair, etc).

A barcode reader/scanner can be used to input the sample ID.

Importing DNA 

DNA samples, test requests and results can all be imported into Stockbook®, using the standard import details from data file function.

How do I get my existing DNA data from Traits into the DNA module?


Migrating DNA data

You can migrate the information into the DNA tab by using Utilities | Maintenance | Migrate DNA Data.
