Faster Secondary Analysis Compared to Industry Standard BWA-GATK
Fabric Genomics delivers a fast, accurate, and consistent secondary analysis platform using Sentieon’s algorithm, winner of the 2016 Precision FDA Truth Challenge and the Precision FDA Consistency Challenge. In the Consistency Challenge, Sentieon won for top overall performance as well as for highest reproducibility. In the Truth Challenge, Sentieon’s results were very similar to the industry-standard BWA-GATK because the mathematics are identical. However, Sentieon had a performance edge because it does not down-sample reads and handles threading more robustly than BWA-GATK. Incorporation of Sentieon enables Fabric Genomics to offer 10x faster alignment and 20-50x faster variant calling compared to the industry standard BWA-GATK.Â
Customizable Quality Control ManagementÂ
Ensuring that samples are rigorously checked for quality is a
crucial component of a robust analysis solution. Fabric Genomics’ implementation team works with your lab to ensure that the quality control workflow meets your lab’s guidelines. Default metrics can provide a starting point and can be customized to your needs. Samples within pre-specified bounds can be automatically passed if desired, and roles within the lab for the pass/fail QC process can be defined. An audit trail is automatically generated for these activities. QC metrics are visible at the per-sample level and also across samples. Additionally, QC metrics can be included in the clinical report output. Pileups can be viewed with the Integrated Genome Viewer (IGV) to validate individual variant quality during variant review.
