Verogen ForenSeq Universal Analysis Software

For next-generation sequencing analysis and management of forensic genomic data

Features

  • Sample-to-answer workflow designed for a growing suite of forensic applications
  • Features automated data visualization with simple audit-controlled Graphical User Interface
  • Allows creation of data packages for archiving or copying for discovery requests and data sharing

Product Details

Designed specifically for forensic analysts, the Universal Analysis Software (UAS) simplifies complex bioinformatics and data management. The UAS is an all-inclusive solution, containing analysis modules for all Verogen ForenSeq kits, from STRs to mtDNA and SNPs. Extensive testing backs highly reliable variant calls to deliver accurate results in a user-friendly package with no per-seat licenses.

ForenSeq Universal Analysis Software offers four analysis modules:

  • For ForenSeq mtDNA Whole Genome, ForenSeq mtDNA Control Region and third-party mtDNA kits
  • For the ForenSeq DNA Signature Prep workflow
  • For the ForenSeq Kintelligence workflow
  • For the ForenSeq MainstAY workflow

Performance

Laboratories can focus on routine casework or leverage population statistics, phenotypic estimation, dynamic filters and more to explore all possibilities for human identification.

  • Configurable workflows enable easy analysis and reporting of mainstream identity workflows
  • Generate investigative leads through analysis software advances
  • Discriminate further with comprehensive sequence variant analysis

Flexible analysis methods can analyze mtDNA data from home-brew and third-party libraries sequenced on the MiSeq FGx Sequencing System.

Accessible Solution

A secure interface with the MiSeq FGx System automates post-sequencing data analysis and minimizes hands-on time. Results are viewable through a web browser, with the convenience of accessing the software online or off. Review a summarized version of data or switch to a more in-depth view. Reports are easy to generate and use database friendly file formats.

Dynamic Toolset

A comprehensive suite of intuitive, interactive tools facilitates sample management, run setup, data visualization and reporting. From real-time run monitoring to sample comparisons and intensity plots, UAS features help laboratories make decisions and act on analytic insights. Color-coded quality indicators highlight run performance for at-a-glance status.

In-House Capability

Providing access to powerful computing without the infrastructure burden, UAS ships preinstalled on a dedicated server. Version-controlled releases continuously expand and improve the platform to accommodate new applications and keep pace with evolving nomenclature conventions. Opt in or out of upgrades as desired for maximum flexibility and control.
