Data delivery
There are several data delivery options available: Scout delivery, Raw data delivery, Microbial analysis delivery and Cancer analysis delivery. The application decides what data delivery option that is possible to select. Not all options are available for all applications, see more info below.
Scout delivery
Scout is our visualisation tool for annotated and ranked variants. The analysis is applicable to whole genomes, exomes and panel samples.
The data is first analysed using one of our pipelines; MIP or BALSAMIC.
- MIP (Mutation Identification Pipeline) is developed by CMMS (Karolinska Institutet) focusing on diagnosis of monogenic, hereditary diseases. Read more in the official documentation for MIP. The standard delivery of the results from sequencing and MIP analysis, is through Scout, which is an application accredited by SWEDAC.
- BALSAMIC (Bioinformatic Analysis pipeLine for SomAtic MutatIons in Cancer), read more in the section “Cancer analysis delivery” below.
To be able to access Scout, you need to be a registered user. Contact us for more information.
Raw data delivery
For all applications, delivery of raw data files from sequencing (FASTQ files) is possible. This delivery goes through our delivery server.
Microbial analysis delivery
For microbial samples, the delivery consists of a QC analysis report and raw data files (FASTQ files).
The data can also be analysed using our typing pipeline microSALT, determining a sample's organism specific sequencing type and its resistance pattern. This is an analysis accredited by SWEDAC. Read more in the official documentation for microSALT.
Cancer analysis delivery
Our cancer analysis pipeline is called BALSAMIC (Bioinformatic Analysis pipeLine for SomAtic MutatIons in Cancer) and is analysing both tumor-normal (TN) pairs and tumor only (TO) samples. Read more in the official documentation for BALSAMIC.
BALSAMIC analysis with the myeloid panel (GMSmyeloid) is an application accredited by SWEDAC. Read the summary of the validation and the limitations of the assay here.
From our somatic workflow we deliver the following files depending on the requested analysis: Target Genome Analysis (TGA; including Whole Exome Sequencing) or Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS).
