Case Study: Educational Institution and Ingenuity Variant Analysis for Ion Reporter

Introduction

This case study of a educational institution is based on a April 2014 survey of Ingenuity Variant Analysis plugin for Ion Reporter customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service. The profiled organization asked to have their name blinded to protect their confidentiality.

“Fantastic software to identify SNVs!”

Challenges

  • Tried the Ingenuity Variant Analysis plugin for Ion Reporter because of Ingenuity’s reputation for high quality products.
  • Addresses the following challenges:
    • Ease of use / usability
    • Access to complete biological annotation
    • Sharing work with colleagues

Use Case

  • Has 2-5 people in their lab using the Ingenuity Variant Analysis Plugin for Ion Reporter.
  • Is using for Gene Panel sample types.

Results

  • Achieved the following with the Ingenuity Variant Analysis plugin for Ion Reporter:
    • Helped reduce time to generate a short list of interesting variants
    • Increased access to rich biological content
    • Increased efficiency and team productivity
    • Enabled improved sharing and collaboration
  • Received the following scientific benefits:
    • Performed causal network analysis to identify relevant variants in genes
    • Accessed findings from biomedical literature
    • Quickly identified new findings
  • The following differentiates from competitive products:

    • Value for price
    • Speed of access to application

QIAGEN Bioinformatics Customer Satisfaction Rating

A Postdoctoral Fellow at an educational institution would be very likely to recommend QIAGEN Bioinformatics for this reason:

I am a very big fan of IPA Software.

Case Study: Primary Investigator at an Educational Institution

Introduction

This case study of a educational institution is based on a July 2013 survey of Ingenuity IPA customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service. The profiled organization asked to have their name blinded to protect their confidentiality.

“IPA is easy to use for every researcher including wet-bench researchers.”

Challenges

  • Solved the following challenges since deploying IPA for RNA sequencing analysis:
    • Can more clearly identify biologically relevant isoforms
  • Purchased IPA for RNA sequencing analysis for the following reason:
    • Quickly identify differentially expressed isoforms

Use Case

  • Uses the following species in their RNA seq analysis:
    • Humans
    • Mice
  • Uses the following upstream analysis packages to generate RNA-Seq expression values:
    • Cufflinks/Cuffdiff
    • DESeq
    • EdgeR
    • Bioconductor

Results

  • Purchased IPA for RNA seq analysis over the following competitor:
    • In-house development software
  • Rates the following IPA capabilities compared to the competition:
    • Faster time to insights: highly differentiated
    • Ease of use: highly differentiated
    • Novel insights: differentiated
    • Deeper analysis: highly differentiated
  • Saved 4 to 8 hours per analysis with IPA for their RNA seq analysis.
  • Is very satisfied with the value for identifying biologically relevant isoforms from RNA seq data using IPA.
  • Increased the productivity of their bioinformatics staff for RNA seq analysis by 5 to 10x with IPA.
