Getting Started

To test the software one needs to enter 3 digit numeric data into the given text box.

Data enetered should be strictly 3 digits numeric data and any alpha , alpha-numeric values or any string values are not acceptable.

For each and every marker its associated "amlpicon fragment" size constitutes input data.

If for a marker if its related amplicon fragment is not available,enter (-9) in that text box.

To use this software , one needs to enter genotype values for each marker specified.

>But for testing purpose, a default data are kept which are obtained from a known species.

Now to get this data , press "Load Data" which will load all the default data into the textfield, followed by pressing "Goaty De".

By pressing "Goaty De" processing will start, which will invoke another software "Structure".

Criteria's for entering data:

1.No text box can be left blank.

2.All the text box should contain 3-digit numeric value(except Population No. and Pop Flag).

3.For each and every marker a range is decided from the experiments conducted, all that are specified for each of the box.

4.Entering value other than that is strictly prohibited.

5.Any alpha-numeric , non-numeric or special characters are not at all allowed,

6.Dinucleotide and Trinucleotide data entered should be in the given range.

7.For any missing data , enter (-9) in both the text box irrespective of any values if present for any of the text box.

8.For getting accurate result , keep the pop flag as 1.

Now Press "Goaty Dè".

Processing will take few minutes and the result displayed will give the assigned breed name.
