Figure 30: The RNA-seq Analysis Portal Samples page

The Samples page provides an overview of the samples in your RNA-seq Analysis Portal account (figure 30). The following information is provided:

Filter table columns to list entries that match your criteria, e.g. all samples in a specific project. Click on Clear filters at the top right to remove all filters.

Delete and move samples


You can delete and move samples as long as they are not part of an experiment. Samples that cannot be deleted or moved will appear with disabled checkboxes.

Delete samples

To delete samples, select the checkboxes on the left and click the Delete samples button below the table.

If you delete a sample while the analysis is still in progress, the corresponding analysis credit will be released back into your My QIAGEN account.

Move samples

To move samples, select the checkboxes on the left and click the Move samples button below the table to bring up the Move selected samples dialog (figure 31). Specify the project to which you wish to move the samples by either selecting an existing project or creating a new one.

You cannot move samples into a project that already contains samples with identical sample kit-reference combination, but different analysis workflow version. This restriction ensures comparability of samples within a project.

As an example, say you have a destination project with samples of the following type and version: QIAseq miRNA Library Kit miRBase_v22, Homo sapiens (GRCh38.103), 1.1. What samples could you move into this project?

If all selected samples are compatible with the destination project, this is indicated by vertical green bars next to all the samples (figure 32).

If only a subset of selected samples can be moved into the destination project, compatible samples will be indicated with vertical green bars, and incompatible samples will be striken out (figure 32). As you click Move samples, only compatible samples will be moved.

If you select samples that are mutually incompatible, i.e. they have sample kit-reference combination, but different analysis workflow version, you will need to remove some before you can click Move samples (figure 33).
