Rare Variant Analysis and Interpretation
Comprehensive variant analysis and interpretation for rare disease
Ready-made and integrated NGS technology provides efficient rare disease evaluation
Simplified Analysis of Genetic Variants
Current tools for rare variant analysis are fragmented, often involving several different pipelines that all require separate integration efforts and maintenance schedules. This disjointed framework prevents laboratories from scaling services effectively. Today, high-throughput labs need intuitive tools for variant calling, interpretation, and reporting in a comprehensive and seamless way.
The TruSight Software Suite consolidates all these tools at your fingertips. Simplify rare variant analysis and interpretation by calling, prioritizing, and reporting on variants from one software interface. The suite is designed for high-throughput labs using whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing to evaluate and report on variants associated with rare genetic disease.
Rare Variant Analysis Made Easy
Find critical answers quickly with comprehensive variant calling and prioritization.
Variant Filtering and Prioritization
Perform family-based variant filtering for identification of inherited and de novo variants.
Comprehensive, Accurate Variant Calling
The TruSight Software Suite provides rapid turnaround for rare variant analysis with automated processing and joint variant calling. Powered by the speed and precision of the DRAGEN Platform,1 the suite performs comprehensive identification for key variant types, including:
- Small variants
- Copy number variants
- Structural variants
- Mitochondrial variants
- Repeat expansions
- Runs of homozygosity
- Paralogs (eg, SMN1/SMN2)
By analyzing and visualizing multiple types at one time, you can easily view compound heterozygosity across variant categories.*
*TruSight Software Suite is compatible with both whole-genome sequencing and whole-exome sequencing samples. DRAGEN supports repeat expansion calling and SMN1/2 calling with whole-genome samples using PCR-Free methods.
Rare Variant Analysis Software Features
Simplified Variant Annotation and Prioritization
Developed with input from leaders in genome interpretation of rare disease, the TruSight Software Suite annotates variants and genes from multiple public databases, such as ClinVar, OMIM, and gnomAD. Additional options to upload custom annotations and query aggregated cases with CaseLog help you leverage institutional knowledge and learn from previous findings. Multiple visualization options allow for quality control of different variants discovered.
Machine Learning To Enhance Analysis
TruSight Software Suite is equipped with multiple machine learning tools to decrease time, add context, and corroborate findings. Tools such as automated variant prioritization, automated literature search, and splice site characterization can augment your review of rare variants. With intuitive interpretation and reporting options, you can filter variants via gene lists, inheritance modes, custom annotations, complex logic, and more.
