Managing panels

Upload a panel

  1. Open Panels from the sidebar and click Upload panel.
  2. Give it a name (unique within the project), choose the resource type (gene panel, gene set, BED file, panel of normals, or sequencing kit), and select the file.
  3. Click Upload.

iFlow validates the file against the type you chose and rejects it with a clear message if it doesn't parse — for example a BED line whose start/end aren't integers. On success the panel appears in the catalog with its parsed summary.

What gets stored

The file itself is the source of truth; iFlow keeps a lightweight summary (gene or interval counts, contigs) so you can scan the catalog without opening files. Large interval files (a WES kit can have tens of thousands of intervals) are summarised, never expanded row-by-row.

Browse and inspect

The catalog lists every panel with its type, size, and creation date. Open a panel to see its detail page: the parsed summary (genes, or interval count / covered bases / contigs), checksum, and — for gene panels — the gene list.

Use Download on the detail page to retrieve the original file.

Remove a panel

Click Delete on a row or the detail page. This is a soft delete: the panel leaves the catalog but its file is retained, so any past analysis that referenced it can still be reproduced.

Who can manage panels

Any project contributor (and above) can upload, edit, and delete panels. Viewers can browse and download them.
