Major advances in genomic analysis have led laboratories to use Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). It is an efficient and effective method that allows the simultaneous reading of millions of fragments of DNA sequences. In order to use it, you need to have specialized NGS Data Analysis System, which can be implemented by specialists from SoftSystem. Check what are the possibilities of the offered system and why you should choose our solutions!
What are the advantages of using NGS technology for DNA sequencing analysis?
The modern NGS technology is today recognized as the basic tool for analyzes in the field of molecular biology. Comparing it to traditional DNA sequencing methods, its most important advantages include:
- extremely high precision of operation,
- the possibility of optimizing the costs of running a laboratory,
- exceptional efficiency, which significantly reduces the time spent on performing genomic analysis.
As a result of DNA sequencing, huge amounts of data are generated, the analysis of which is a time-consuming and difficult process, often requiring specialized bioinformatics knowledge. The NGS Console system we offer provides an excellent support for this process. Why is it worth using such IT tools?
What are the capabilities of the NGS Console data processing system from SoftSystem?
The tools offered by our company are perfect for laboratories working with large databases. High-tech software enables multiple DNA sequencing analyzes to be performed simultaneously. As a result, the time from taking a sample to the preparation of the final test report is significantly reduced. Despite the automation of processes, employees of the laboratory can control data processing. The NGS Console system is characterized by a modular architecture, which makes it a very universal tool. It is great for laboratories dealing with genomic or exome sequencing. NGS Console has got integrated widely used bioinformatics packages such as:
- GATK,
- Picard
- SAMTools,
- FASTQC.
The system also enables the integration of additional bioinformatics tools and algorithms.
What are the benefits of implementing the NGS Data Analysis System?
The possibilities of using modern NGS technology depend on the software used. Our tools ensure that DNA sequencing analysis will be precise, fast and relatively cheap. The benefits of implementing IT solutions from SoftSystem include:
- access to the extensive capabilities of the NGS Data Analysis System
- more effective work of the laboratory,
- effective quality control at sample and data processing
NGS Console software capabilities
A key function of the NGS Data Analysis System is the detection of genetic variants for a specific phenotype. They can be freely filtered, using criteria tailored to the needs.
In addition, the NGS data processing software was designed to integrate with the LIMS system. It is a set of professional tools intended, among others for planning and supervising laboratory work. The advantage of such connection will be, for example, the possibility of direct transfer of orders for research through the built-in console.
More effective work of the laboratory
Modern algorithms used in NGS Console can perform multiple DNA simultaneously. This time-saving is also the result of the automatic generation of CVS final reports. Additionally, system users can download data output files in various popular formats, including:
- BAM
- BAI
- VCF
The function of scheduling data analyzes from NGS sequencing also increases the efficiency of the laboratory’s work. The software enable queuing them according to predetermined priorities.
High quality DNA sequencing analysis
From the laboratory’s point of view, the quality of the DNA sequencing analysis performed is always the most important. NGS Console provides supervision over the quality control of the analyzed data, both at the level of the entire process and a single sample.
The system offers a wide range of configuration of various parameters related to quality control. They include:
- sequence length distribution and levels of duplication,
- determination of the maximum content of GC pairs,
- the contents of the adapter.
One of the functionalities of the system is the possibility to set sequencing quality parameters. If they are exceeded, the user must decide whether to continue or stop the analysis.
