FPPipeliner 3.0   
A high-throughput tool to help FPMiner (BioinforSoft LLC), GeneMapper and Peak Scanner
software (Applied Biosystems)  to size DNA fragments and export the sized fragment data to files
Description:
  • FPPipeliner is a software tool to help FPMiner, GeneMapper
    and Peak Scanner software (Applied Biosystems)  to size
    fragments and export the sized fragment data to flat files in a
    high-throughput manner.
  • FPPipeliner software uses the command line functions that
    FPMiner, GeneMapper and Peak Scanner software provides
    and makes a pipeline using FPMiner, GeneMapper or Peak
    Scanner software to process large number of  raw sample
    files and export sized fragment data to the flat text files that
    can be used in the downstream software  FPMiner
    (BioinforSoft), and other third-party software such as  
    GenoProfler (You et al. 2004).
  • FPPipeliner has an ease-to-use user interface to facilitate the
    necessary parameter settings for FPMiner, GeneMapper and
    Peak Scanner software and specify the directories containing
    sample files and the directory for exporting the processed
    fragment data.
Key Features:
  • Support the FPMiner 1.4 or above, GeneMapper  version 3.5
    or above, Peak Scanner 1.0.
  • Automate FPMiner, GeneMapper or Peak Scanner's
    processes of creating project, size-calling, and exporting
    sized fragment data.   
  • Add sample files from a directory and its subdirectories (any
    level) into GeneMapper recursively and automatically.
  • Export sized fragment data files with extension ".gm", ".dat" or
    ".txt". Each exported data file contains sized fragment data of
    samples corresponding to a source directory or subdirectory
    in which samples are located.
  • Exported fragment data files are compatible to FPMiner
    software or other third-party software such as GenoProfiler
    (You et al. 2004) for fingerprint editing or genotyping.
Requirements
:
  • Windows operating systems
  • Java running environment: J2SE(or JRE)1.4.2  or above.
  • GeneMapper software (Applied Biosystems).
Installation:
  1. Java running environment installation: because FP Pipeliner
    installer has a bundle with JRE1.4.2, it's unnecessary to
    install Java running environment in advance.
  2. FPPipeliner installation:
  • Download FPPipeliner software.
  • Double-click  FPPipeliner installer program (self-
    extracted executable file) and just follow instructions
