APPLICATION CATEGORY - SNP DATA MANAGEMENT

Applications in the SNP Data Management category provided centralized storage of data arising from the Affymetrix Mapping Assays coupled with storage of the necessary family or co-variant sample attribute data. Data reformatting is another hallmark of this class of tools due to the large variety of input data structures that exist in, largely academic-based, genetic analysis programs.

Biocomputing Platforms' BC/GENE
BC/GENE | Support | Sales | Biocomputing Platforms

BC/GENE from Biocomputing Platforms is a database environment designed to combine genotype data with phenotypes, maps and pedigrees and to create a productive statistical analysis pipeline. The platform has been designed to handle the output of modern high-throughput SNP genotyping technologies. BC/GENE enhances the use of the best genetic analysis programs by utilizing a web browser interface to set up analysis runs and generating input files automatically. BC/GENE also features a queue system for running multiple calculation tasks. Additional analysis tools and programs can be easily integrated into the system.

Biocomputing Platforms' BC/SNPmax

BC/SNPmax from Biocomputing Platforms is a data management solution for whole genome association studies. It integrates high-density SNP genotype data with phenotypes and maps, creating a highly productive data analysis pipeline with automated input file generation for analysis programs.

BC/SNPmax enhances the use of the best analysis programs for quality control, case/control analysis and family-based analysis. An advanced built-in queue system supports performing multiple, large parallel database transactions and calculation tasks. The queue system also makes it easier to build powerful calculation clusters.

A BC/SNPmax system can be implemented quickly, without requiring substantial resources for programming, allowing a research group’s programmers to focus on the top scientific priorities.

Progeny Lab is a data management tool designed for large scale genome-wide scans or specific target regions for linkage type analysis or association studies. Comprehensive management includes:

•	All variations of Affymetrix SNP sets (10K, 100K, 500K, etc.)
•	High speed imports of native Affymetrix CHP file genotypes or GDAS Text Outputs
•	Automated error checking of genotype imports including mendelian errors
•	Custom exports to multiple analysis platforms
•	Fully functional sample tracking
•	Customizable database tracking both pedigrees and individuals, allowing unlimited custom data fields
•	Progeny Lab provides functionality to manage all clinical and lab data in one relational database
