Details

Removes identified spikes from the dataset. Spikes are identified using the function calculateSpike and provided as a separate dataset. NB! Samples must have unique identifiers. Some laboratories use non-unique names for e.g. negative controls. To allow identification of specific samples when multiple batches are imported into one dataset an id is automatically created by combining the sample name and the file name. This work well as long as there is at most 1 identically named sample in each file (batch). To enable multiple identically named samples in one file, the sample names can be prefixed with the lane or well number before importing them to STR-validator.
