DATA RETURN AND DATA REMOVAL VIA THE FTP-SERVER

Data return via ftp-server

Our method of data return is via a Yale ftp-server. Data is downloaded to password protected accounts. Sequence files in text form and ABI analysis files (specify either Binary (Mac) or Raw data (PC/VAX) on the submission sheet) remain on the server for a brief period only.

We will remove files at approximately 6-8 week intervals, without notice. It is therefore critical that you back-up data from the server as soon as it arrives, so that you will not lose valuable data when it is deleted from the server.

The .ab1 files can be viewed using the following programs for Mac and PC.
