DNA_Process Table

The DNA_Process table records individual gather runs. Each row captures one run for one kit — when it started and finished, what it was asked to do, what it produced, which optional passes it included, and the cM thresholds it used. It provides a per-run history keyed to the kit it ran against.

A supporting index covers (dk_id, start_time), so a kit’s runs can be looked up and ordered by start time.

ranICWboolTrue if the run included an in-common-with (shared match) pass.
ranTreeboolTrue if the run included a tree-gathering pass.
ranChromosomeboolTrue if the run included a chromosome/segment pass.
