A, B, and C. Example of import (A), duplicates (B), and differences (C) reports Import report stores all information regarding genotypes imported into GeneLink. This information includes number of records imported (how many unique individuals, how many markers) as well as the name of the file in which records are stored. The duplicates process checks for duplicate genotypes within a table. A duplicate is defined as records with the same FamInd ID and marker. All duplicate records are reported. If duplicate records have the same two alleles then one record is deleted. If the two duplicate records do not have matching alleles than the user is prompted to select which record to delete. The differences process looks for differences in genotypes compared across tables (independently scored by two researchers). All differences are reported and the user is prompted to resolve each appropriately. The user is given the option to save either record or if either score isn't acceptable then new genotype can be indicated.
