Tute Genomics New Features Version 1.1 May 2014

The Tute team is continuing to bring you and your organization the best genetic annotation and analysis software out there. We are excited to announce the following new features and updates:

  • Framework: We have upgraded our backend system and code framework resulting in a platform that is even more robust, scalable, and reliable. New features and updates will be deployed more rapidly as a result.
  • Family-Based Analysis: Tute is capable of conducting multiple-sample studies to prioritize the identification of disease genes in a family or population.
  • Case/Control: Users can now complete case-control studies by uploading and selecting their complete data sets for analysis to identify disease causing variants.
  • Clinical Report: Our clinical reporting feature is now live in a Beta version! Tute now allows users to view and export their data in a clinical report which is easily generated with just one click for every genome and gene panel uploaded to the Tute system.
  • Filtering: You can now specify and apply advanced filters in meaningful combinations within one interface, making stepwise reduction and prioritization of variants quicker and even more simple. We have also made it possible to save and re-apply any combination of filters previously added by the user.
  • jBrowse: The powerful and widely used jBrowse visualization tool has been integrated to allow for detailed variant analysis.
  • Bulk uploads: Take advantage of the new bulk uploading feature which enables you to upload and process multiple variant sample files simultaneously. Specifying sample set information can easily be applied across all items. You can even directly upload compressed files in the following formats: .zip, .tar, .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, .gz, and .bz2.
  • Interface: Tute now better utilizes screen real-estate by displaying data in a relative width. No more wasted display space when you are using a high resolution.
  • Additional Annotations: Tute now offers over 100 annotation types to provide a comprehensive look at your data.
  • Versioning: Tute now has the ability to access multiple versions of our annotations, analyses, and reports, to support clinical labs and researchers with strict version control needs.
  • Multiple Filters: Now Tute allows users to apply multiple filters of the same type/function.
  • API: Our API is in Beta! Tute now has API Admin functionality (performing functions on any user account as an Admin user) and has added specifying endpoints to download a sample file from as an alternate option to posting. The Tute API also has an email notification option/toggle in the API.
  • Exporting: You can now export the current filtered data set, in addition to the entire list of variant annotations.
