BC|SEQUENCE

Next Generation Sequence and Variation Data Management and Analysis

BC|SEQUENCE is designed for projects conducting statistical genetic epidemiology analysis of variation data produced using Next Generation Sequencing devices. The variation data can be analyzed together with previously genotyped SNPs, CNVs, phenotypes, family data and other types of research data, using the latest analysis methods and tools. Additionally, BC|SEQUENCE provides tools for variation detection using the most common variation detection algorithms, as well as tools for sequence data management and visualization.

BC|SEQUENCE is ideal for:

• Whole-genome sequencing projects
• Exome sequencing projects
• Re-sequencing projects of select areas of the genome
• Association and other analysis of rare variants

Features

• Support for importing variation information in different formats, like CASAVA
• Association analysis of rare variants together with existing genotype data
• Functions for storing, managing, sharing and analyzing BAM files
• Tools for detecting variations, annotating the discovered variants, subsetting functions, sequence visualization and other tools for data analysis

Highly Scalable and Flexible Analysis Tools

The variation data can be analyzed together with previously genotyped SNPs, CNVs, phenotypes, family data and other types of research data, using the latest analysis methods and tools. This functionality is provided by our BC|GENE and BC|SNP Suites, which are designed for the management, sharing and analysis of genetic, clinical phenotype, pedigree and other types of research data.

BC|GENE and BC|SNP Suites offer graphical user interfaces, automated data conversion tools and task segmentation features for proven, widely-used analysis programs developed in academia, creating flexible, parallel workflows for high-performance data analysis. Our database platforms are designed for huge amounts of data and include efficient data compression techniques, and also include the possibility of database partitioning for very large projects, and feature automated parallel data analysis pipelines

BC|SEQUENCE also supports the usage of cloud computing technologies in data analysis; the database can be installed in-house and data analysis can be performed in a cloud, renting required computational power only when necessary, saving time and money.
