Variant Comparison Tool added to NextGENe software
April 29, 2010, State College PA SoftGenetics announced the addition of a variant comparison tool to its NextGENe software. The new tool is a response to many user requests for a fast, easy to use method to compare the results of multiple re-sequencing or target capture analyses used in drug resistance, metagenomic, drug therapy, or cross species comparison studies of 2nd generation sequencing data. NextGENe accepts data from all major 2nd generation sequencing platforms, including the Roche 454, Illumina GA and AB SOLiD System.
The new variant comparison tool automatically compares the results of up to 10 individual projects comparing each found variant of all projects, providing a color-coded report that is hyper-linked to the actual analysis results. Report findings can be easily reviewed, edited and exported for further downstream analysis.
“The variant comparison tool” indicates Kevin LeVan, NextGENe Product Manager,” combined with NextGENe software’s new scoring system and filtering options greatly reduces the analysis complexity of SNP and INDEL discovery of next-generation data. Using these tools will help both researchers and clinicians to quickly focus on significant variants which are similar or different between patients or samples and not simply noise from the sequencing operation.”
NextGENe software, is a free standing, biologist-friendly Windows based analysis tool, requires no scripting, provides analysis modules for all typical applications and is compatible with data from all major 2nd generation sequencing platforms.
The company offers 30-day trials and no cost web-based training on its genetic analysis software packages. Interested parties may request the software on the company website: www.softgenetics.com or via email: [email protected].
