Variant Analysis (VA) Module

Sign in ›

The Variant Analysis (VA) Module provides fast analysis of Sanger sequencing data. The VA Module can automatically retrieve reference sequences from the genomic database, report variants with genomic coordinates, and report genomic annotations for SNPs. With highly overlapped forward/reverse strands, the VA Module reports very high sensitivity for SNP calls. The VA Module also reports and exports variant files in standard .vcf format. There is no software maintenance required from users.Free access on Thermo Fisher Cloud

Next Generation Confirmation (NGC) Module

Sign in ›

The Next-Generation Confirmation (NGC) Module lets users compare results from standard NGS variant files with results from Sanger sequencing instruments within the Thermo Fisher Cloud environment.
Critical decisions often require validation of NGS results using robust Sanger sequencing. The NGC module provides fast analysis of AB1 files and reports variants in genomic coordinates. The results are automatically annotated with known SNPs from the current genomic database.
