View/Export Segments Tool (Borland Genetics)

The View/Export Segments tool in the Borland Genetics toolkit allows users to visualize reconstructed segments of a partial mono kit, and then provides options for exporting the segments in build 36 or build 37 coordinates as a DNA Painter compatible CSV file which will appear in the Data Library when selected. Segments will be exported with the paternal/maternal field set to “unknown.” To import the segment data into DNAPainter, create a new profile there, or open an existing one, and from the settings, select “Import Data (new).”  You can reduce the minimum cM threshold for import as low as 1 cM by typing the value in manually (as the arrows on the spinbox only go down to 7 cM on the DNAPainter screen). You can also increase the max from 1800 cM to any value desired, for example if you are using this method to create unresolved checklist segments for a new project.
