Call rate failure! :(

I received word tonight that the FOX/PERRY test currently in the pipeline didn't pass the call rate, and is being re-run.  They haven't adjusted the estimated completion date, so I'm still expecting it sometime between 9/23 and 10/7.

The call rate is the expected number of single nucleotide polymorphisms in a sample.  Of the 700,000 SNPs tested for, in order to pass, 97% have to be present.  So, even a sample with 96.5% present will fail.  I don't know what percentage were present in our sample, so it's just a waiting game right now.
