With Spotfire, scientists are able to quickly identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interest based on experimental data associated with known information from a variety of sources. Researchers can easily create and capture new methods for handling the latest genotyping technology and publish the appropriate statistical routines and visualizations within a Guided Analysis for deployment
throughout an organization. Systematic capture of best analytic practices while preserving the opportunity for breakthrough discovery is at the heart of the information advantage that can be achieved with Spotfire.
"Genome sequences are the foundation for genetic analysis including the identification and mapping of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Association of these polymorphisms with disease phenotypes will enable the development of more effective drugs and improved drug safety (personalized medicine). In collaboration with Spotfire, we developed tools that can confirm regions of heterozygosity by descent, loss of heterozygosity, and identify potential candidate genes in these regions."
