GENSENSE

InforSense GenSense provides a complete and flexible solution that accelerates and automates the analysis of data from the latest generation of high-throughput genotyping platforms. It has been specifically designed to assist researchers using genotyping arrays by providing the following capabilities.

• Highly scalable to work with large volume data sets, including chips that measure up to one million SNP's across 1000's of samples
• Support for Affymetrix and Illumina data formats
• Perform CNV analysis of the latest generation of genotyping arrays, using Affymetrix Copy Number Workflow or PennCNV
• Automated quality control to filter SNP's and samples based on genotype quality score, genotype completion and sample duplication
• Pre-defined best practice statistical analysis of case control data based on WTCCC approach
• Powerful interactive web based views provide easy access for any user
• Highly flexible analysis can easily be modified to support new requirements
• Filter, sort and prioritize SNPs
• Pre-built, flexible connectors for 3rd party tools and scripts, e.g. R, PLINK and Perl
• Link to phenotype data to find those SNPs most highly associated with disease and/or drug response.

"GenSense offers efficient automation of quality control procedures, statistical analyses and annotation work, and therefore significantly accelerates our data processing. Furthermore, it allows integration of third party tools such as Plink and SNPTest,"
