Once data has been uploaded to QCI Secondary Analysis, users then select a pre-configured analysis pipeline that has been optimized for their lab’s specific panel, policies, and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Users also have the option to run and deploy any bioinformatics tools, such as QIAGEN’s CLC Genomics Workbench, within QCI Secondary Analysis.
QCI Secondary Analysis automates the analysis of multiple sequencing runs simultaneously, generating high-quality variant calls within minutes. Users can then visualize the analysis results, such as read pileups, in a genome browser directly from the cloud platform. Or, users can send VCF files directly to QCI Interpret, or download the results to send to the interpretation platform of their choice.
