Arguments

con

valid connection to database

Value

A list with the following elements, each containing a list of Sample IDs in that category:

  • needs_ots_16

  • repeat_ots_28

  • repeat_ots_16

  • potential_heterozygotes

Details

get_samples_needing_action checks the database table sample_status to identify samples in the following categories:

  • Have been run through OTS 28 Early/Late and need to be run through OTS 16 Spring/Winter

  • Have been run through OTS 28 Early/Late and produced a negative result for both, indicating they require to be run again

  • Have been run through OTS 16 Spring/Winter and produced a negative result for both, indicating they require to be run again
