NEW NGSengine^®  Release Version 1.1 available

NGSengine® is a platform independent software intended for the high-resolution identification of alleles of the HLA loci by means of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).

Improvements and Benefits in Release version 1.1. include:

•    Improved analysis algorithms
With the improved analysis algorithms in this new NGSengine® release, projects analysed with previous versions of NGSengine® will need to be re-analysed.  

•    Multiple pattern analysis
To give you the ability to analyse more samples and lower your cost of running samples we have implemented a multiple pattern analysis functionality in NGSengine®.

•    Support
If you need support with your workflow or analysis please contact our support team This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or +31 (0)30 252 3799. To optimize our support NGSengine is now able to send log files directly.

To improve the loading time in NGSengine separate reads are hidden by default. To display reads click either show reads at the bottom right of the page or go to view in the top menu.

•    Direct Gzip reading
NGSengine is now able to directly read data files, no need to extract them first.

•    DRB3/4/5
DRB3/4/5 is now included as a reference so you can analyse these loci with NGSengine as well.
