Frequently Asked Questions: MIP Workflow – Sequencing/PALT

What exactly is a Sequencing baseline?

A Sequencing baseline is essentially a "snapshot" in time of the Approved Dataset of the Sequencing Tool. When the MOD Alexandria Sequencing Lead creates a baseline, the Sequencing Tool captures all the Sequencing data in the Approved Dataset and "freezes" it so that it is view-only and uneditable for all Sequencing Users. The baseline is then used for analysis and preparation of the next MHIP release.

Baselines may be accessed using the dataset drop-down menu in the Sequencing Tool.
