Softgenetics has announced the addition of a variant comparison tool to its Nextgene software.
The tool has been added in response to user requests for a fast, easy-to-use method to compare the results of multiple re-sequencing or target capture analyses used in drug resistance, metagenomic, drug therapy, or cross-species comparison studies of second-generation sequencing data.
Nextgene accepts data from all major second-generation sequencing platforms, including the Roche 454, Illumina GA and AB Solid system.
The variant comparison tool automatically compares the results of up to 10 individual projects, comparing each found variant of all projects and providing a colour-coded report that is hyperlinked to the actual analysis results.
Report findings can be reviewed, edited and exported for further downstream analysis.
Nextgene software is a free-standing Windows-based analysis tool that requires no scripting and provides analysis modules for all typical applications.
