image_call: Frequently-asked questions

I accidentally typed "image_call" on a gel I have already
allele_call'ed.  It re-constructed the manifold even though my
"Redo_manifold" was set to "no".   

After that, when I tried to "allele_view" the gel, it says that the
gel has not been genotyped.  What happened?

• The "Redo" settings are for controlling "allele_call"'s operations. If you invoke any of the other independent programs like "image_call" (or "prep_call") explicitly, FAST-MAP assumes that you wish to execute the corresponding operation and ignores the "Redo" settings.
• When you re-execute an operation, all the results that are dependent on that operation will be treated as obsolete. For example, if you re-construct the manifold, then the previous quantitation and genotyping results will be considered obsolete since the sizing may have changed. In this case, you need to call allele_call to re-analyze the gel again.
