illumina•Connect is a forum for sharing innovative solutions that enhance the analysis and management of Illumina sequencing and BeadArray data. Illumina’s open architecture software allows third-party vendors to develop powerful new tools that complement and expand data analysis, enabling a faster and easier path to discovery. These customized algorithms, plug-ins, and workflow solutions can parse and analyze data exported from GenomeStudio software, Illumina’s unified informatics solution.
Third-party tools are available for a broad range of genetic analysis applications including:
|
|
- Sequence alignment, SNP calling, indel detection
- Sequencing informatics workflow and data management
- Whole-genome association
- Copy number variation analysis
- Gene expression analysis
- eQTL analysis
- Multi-assay data integration
- Biological pathway and network analysis
