Clinical Research

DNASTAR's Lasergene Genomics Suite includes software for clinical research, enabling you to identify and compare potential disease-causing mutations across multiple samples or groups of samples. Features of the Lasergene Genomics Suite software include:

  • Quick assembly of large data sets from all major next-gen technologies on a desktop computer - check out our benchmarks below.
  • Detection and analysis of SNPs using live, interactive views and comprehensive filtering tools
  • Direct connection to the dbSNP, COSMIC and GERP databases
  • The ability to perform large-scale comparisons of SNPs across individuals and groups of indivduals, and determine the level of disruption to each gene caused by the SNPs present
    • For more information on using Lasergene Genomics Suite in your clinical research, please see the following video which briefly demonstrates the alignment of exome data from 10 individuals with Kabuki syndrome and 8 control individuals against the entire human genome, as well as post-assembly analysis of SNPs. For more details on this project, please see the poster below.
