Oxford Gene Technology (OGT) has introduced its Cytosure Interpret software, designed for faster and easier translation of oligo array CGH (aCGH) data into meaningful results.
The company said the release builds on its previous software package with the addition of functionality, such as the Accelerate workflow, for speeding up and streamlining the analysis and interpretation of aCGH data.
Cytosure Interpret is said to ensure that cytogeneticists and molecular biologists benefit from flexible workflows and in-depth contextual information for clearer data interpretation.
The Cytosure Interpret Accelerate function enables the automation of data analysis workflows, minimising the need for user intervention and maximising the consistency and speed of data interpretation.
Users can tailor the software to their needs, customising numerous functions including normalisation, aberration detection and report generation.
Cytosure Interpret provides comprehensive contextual input by fully integrating results with legacy data, confirmation probe information (including Fish and MLPA), as well as annotation tracks covering syndromes, genes, exons, CNVs and recombination hotspots.
Furthermore, these link to publicly available databases such as Decipher and the Database of Genomic Variants to provide even greater context.
