Franklin automatically stores all your variant classifications from past cases into your organization's Knowledge Base, which is shared with the rest of your team members. In addition, you can now import your classified CNV historical repository very easily, providing a unified database of your previously curated data.

In order to import your previously classified list of variants, head over to your KNOWLEDGE BASE, and then to the Variants tab. There, you can find all the curated variants that you or your teammates have classified using Franklin. To learn more about building your organizational Knowledge Base, check out this article.

To import your variant repository from an external software, such as ChAS or excel, into Franklin, click the + Add variants blue button on the right. A pop-up will show, allowing you to download an import template as XLSX or TSV file:

Please note that the filled template needs to have a specific format. Some columns are mandatory, whereas others are optional, as seen below:

After filling the template, either drag and drop it or browse your computer to select it.


Finally, you should click on the Submit button, and you're done! You've imported your historical repository of classified variants into Franklin, integrating all your clinical data in one unified database.
