Overview of Ingenuity Variant Analysis Ingenuity Variant Analysis is a web--based application that helps us in studying Type 2 Diabetes to identify causal variants from Pima whole genome sequencing data. Ingenuity Variant Analysis combines analytical tools and integrated content to help rapidly identify and prioritize variants by drilling down to a small, targeted subset of variants based both upon published biological evidence and our knowledge of Type 2 Diabetes biology. With Variant Analysis, you can interrogate the variants from multiple biological perspectives, explore different biological hypotheses, and identify the most promising variants for follow-up. Required Features : • Pathway Analysis capabilities, including pathway diagrams with rapid one click access to supporting literature references. • The ability to adjust filters to correspond to a new hypothesis simply by pointing and clicking, with results returned in seconds. This enables researchers to rapidly iterate on their hypotheses and get immediate results, speeding discovery. • Scalable processing capacity provides the ability to analyze thousands of samples simultaneously. Ingenuity Variant Analysis has been demonstrated to support study sizes ranging from individuals and trios to thousands of samples in a single analysis • Data and graphics can be exported to aid in manuscript preparation and publications • Ability to create a stable URL that links an article to an analyzed data set to produce an online supplement that readers can use for free • Support for HIPMand Safe Harbor compliance safeguards patient privacy.
