Case Study: Governmental Research Institute and Ingenuity Variant Analysis

Introduction

This case study of National Institutes of Health is based on a March 2013 survey of Ingenuity Systems customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“The biggest advantage of Ingenuity compared to other tools is that it is very user-friendly and very fast. I have bioinformatics skills, but it is very easy and convenient to use and share with colleagues who have none. Also, I love the fact that pathways and biological knowledge from genes and diseases are integrated in this tool.”

Challenges

  • Solved the following challenges by deploying Ingenuity Variant Analysis:
    • Realized faster and easier identification of causal variants
    • Improved access to biological content including primary sources
    • Enabled independent study without the need for specialized bioinformatics skills
    • Enabled support for more studies by providing a self-service tool for colleagues and collaborators
  • Purchased Ingenuity Variant Analysis for the following reasons:
    • Access rich biological content in Ingenuity Knowledge Base plus additional sources of variant level content
    • Reduce time to identify variants worth following up on
    • Identify high impact, most compelling variants to follow up on

Use Case

  • Uses the following applications with Ingenuity Variant Analysis:
    • DNA sequencing – Whole Exome
  • Sequencing data is from the following platforms:
    • Illumina Genome Analyzer (GA) / HiSeq

Results

  • Chose Ingenuity Systems over the following solutions:
    • ANNOVAR
  • Saves > 3 days per sample using Ingenuity Variant Analysis for DNA variant annotation and analysis.
  • Reduced time to results by 50 to 74% by using Ingenuity Variant Analysis for DNA variant annotation and analysis.
  • Rated the following Ingenuity Variant Analysis capabilities in terms of how differentiated they are compared to other data analysis solutions:
    • Speed: 5 (strongly differentiated)
    • Accessibility/ ease of use: 5 (strongly differentiated)
    • Sharing with colleagues/peers: 5 (strongly differentiated)
  • Is extremely satisfied with the ease of use of Ingenuity Variant Analysis.

Need for additional tools is top driver for Ingenuity Variant Analysis in Ion Reporter

35% of surveyed customers tried the Ingenuity Variant Analysis plugin for Ion Reporter because of a need for additional tools for biological analysis and interpretation.

Case Study: 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.

“I appreciate the insight from IPA analysis, especially from upstream regulator analysis.”

Challenges

  • Solved the following challenges since deploying IPA for RNA sequencing analysis:
    • Can now distinguish different isoforms
  • Purchased IPA for RNA sequencing analysis for the following reasons:
    • Interpret the impact of expression changes in the context of biological processes, disease and cellular phenotypes, and molecular interactions
    • Compile targeted bibliographies with experimental evidence linking their differentially expressed isoforms to biological processes, disease, and molecular interactions

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:
    • Use R and perl

Results

  • Purchased IPA for RNA seq analysis over the following competitors:
    • In-house developed software
  • Rates the following IPA capabilities compared to the competition:
    • Faster time to insights: highly differentiated
    • Ease of use: differentiated
    • Novel insights: highly differentiated
    • Deeper analysis: highly differentiated
  • Saved 1 to 3 days 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 2 to 5x with IPA.
