Case Study: Cornell University and Ingenuity Variant Analysis

Introduction

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

“Identifying the causal variants supported by high confidence literature is the key thing in which our institute is interested. Ingenuity makes it so simple and easy. [Our] thanks to Ingenuity.”

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
- Improved sharing and collaboration capabilities
- Eliminated the need for creating and maintaining own up-to-date database of biomedical literature
- 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
- Collaborate and share easily with colleagues and peers
