NGS VARIANT ASSESSMENT SOFTWARE

From millions to meaningful

Whole-exome sequencing (WES) using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology is a powerful tool for investigating variants linked to genetic disease. It provides a high-resolution, unbiased view across the entire exome to discover causative variants of inherited disorders. However, the vast amounts of data produced by WES require comprehensive data analysis tools that can efficiently translate the raw sequencing data into meaningful, interpretable results. To address these challenges, QIAGEN Digital Insights offers QCI Interpret Translational.

QCI Interpret Translational

QCI Interpret Translational is a NGS variant assessment software solution that enables rapid, evidence-powered variant annotation, filtering, and triage for human exome, genome, and large cohort sequencing data.

Leveraging the QIAGEN Knowledge Base, QCI Interpret Translational improves research efficiency and accuracy by automating manual curation processes, dynamically and transparently assessing variants according to society guidelines with full user-control, allowing users to focus on what matters most: transforming genomic data into publishable insights.

Accelerate variant filtering

Proprietary Interactive Filter Cascade

QCI Interpret Translational compiles all gene variants within a dataset and enables this list to be quickly narrowed down through an interactive series of filters. This Interactive Filter Cascade can be adopted to reflect selection criteria of interest and their importance to the research question at hand.

Integrated features for rapid variant annotation, filtering and triage

QCI Interpret Translational offers a comprehensive workflow for efficient, evidence-powered variant assessment. 

Sample Management

Upload and organize sample data files based on specific projects or by pipeline, and annotate files with detailed descriptions for easy tracking. 

Virtual Gene Panels

Create and rapidly compare evidence-based virtual gene panels.

Variant Filter Builder

Access 5 different filters to triage variants with granular control:

  • Confidence Filter (industry-wide)
  • Common Variants Filter (industry-wide)
  • Predictive Deleterious Filter (pre-computed ACMG classifications; pathogenic vs. non-pathogenic)
  • Genetic Analysis Filter (include/exclude specific genotypes)
  • Biological Context Filter (exclusive to QIAGEN)

Familial Variant Analysis

Perform family-based variant filtering by comparing different modes of inheritance to identify inherited and de novo variants.

Dynamic Variant Assessment

Pre-classify variants using weighted evidence according to the ACMG five-tier classification system to determine variant pathogenicity and actionability. 

Variant Export

Export annotated variants that passed each stage of the filtering cascade to review annotations, document test results, or analyze the data outside of QCI Interpret Translational.

Retain full user-control

QCI Interpret Translational performs all computations with total transparency and traceability and gives users full-control over filter criteria, parameters, and variant assessments. 

Transparent Traceability 

Easily view how and why a variant was classified with the ability to change final assessments depending on your experience and judgment. 

Bibliographic Reference Citations

Receive clickable hyperlinks to the direct source material considered and/or used during variant assessment.
