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.
