lost, and the resulting analysis tree would be identical to the one in B08.
In this example, since all of the analyses in C08 are group analyses, they
are identical to the analyses in B08 – so, in this instance Replace and
Retain are essentially the same. Choose Retain. The Workspace will
now reflect the newly-merged trees (below).
This is how you can easily add any modifications to an analysis tree
from one sample to another – simply drag the whole tree! You can then
choose to keep (the Retain option) or throw away (the Replace option) any differences between the common parts of the two trees.
You may have noticed that the
Retain or Replace dialog window did not appear when you
dragged analyses to a group,
even when they already existed
(for example, when you were
modifying the Naive, M1, M2,
and M3 subsets for the CD8
analyses at the beginning of this
lesson). FlowJo assumes that
when you drag an analysis to a
group, you want to replace all of
the existing analyses that have
the same name. Then, every
sample that has the group’s
version of those analyses will
also get the new version that
you have copied to the group.
Dragging an analysis tree onto a
group is essentially the equivalent of dragging the tree to every
sample in the group, and choosing Replace.
