Core technology

Genomic interpretation, engineered to be inspected.

One automated chain built on proven, open bioinformatics — extended with interpretation engines designed for auditability rather than opacity.

The interpretation chain

Six stages, each one inspectable

Innovare runs one continuous pipeline from raw reads to a signed report. Each stage is built on established tools and extended where clinical genomics needs more than a standard pipeline gives.

Alignment & calling

Quality recorded, not discarded

Industry-standard alignment and calling, with mapping quality and coverage recorded per region, so an ambiguous mapping is reported as unresolved rather than silently dropped.

ACMG engine

A ledger, not a verdict

A Bayesian ACMG interpretation model aligned with ClinGen SVI recommendations, which classifies variants and records every criterion applied — and every one deliberately not applied — as an auditable ledger.

Pharmacogenomics

CYP2D6, interpreted on its own terms

A specialised locus-specific analysis, so the locus is interpreted on its own terms instead of inheriting a result from a general-purpose variant file.

CPIC · DPWG
Polygenic risk

Ancestry inferred, then calibrated

Scoring against reference panels with explicit ancestry inference, so a percentile is interpretable across Iberian and admixed Latino populations.

275+ traits
Annotation & evidence

Deep-linked to the source

Annotation enriched with public clinical databases and curated gene–disease knowledge bases, deep-linked back to the primary source for every call.

Read level, in the portal

An embedded read-level browser lets a geneticist inspect any variant against the aligned reads before signing, without leaving the review.

The interpretation workspace

Where the scientist actually works

Once the chain has run, the findings land in an interactive workspace built for the person who has to decide what goes into the report — and for the research group that needs to explore a cohort before anything is reported at all.

Prioritisation

Filter on your own criteria

Configurable filters over the complete result table: search by condition or by variant, and filter through standardised medical ontologies — UMLS, MeSH, Disease Ontology and HPO. Simple and compound sorting, with paginated navigation over tables of any size.

Curation

A shortlist that survives the session

Row-level selection that persists across pages, filters and re-sorting, with select-all, invert and clear. A shortlist can be built over several passes through the data without losing it, and the counter tells you how many of your selections the current filter is hiding.

persistent selection
Evidence

The source, one click away

Where a valid rsID is present, direct links to dbSNP and SNPedia are generated automatically, so nobody retypes an identifier into a search box. Where no rsID can be extracted, the workspace says so explicitly instead of leaving a blank cell.

Cohorts

Aggregated polygenic view

Aggregate polygenic scores by condition, gene, variant or ontology, either exploratory across the whole dataset or targeted at a selection. Partial and multi-term search included. It answers where the polygenic load actually concentrates, rather than variant by variant.

Overview

Know the dataset before you read it

A statistics panel with record counts, ranges, means and standard deviations for the numeric columns, and the number of distinct conditions present. A fast read of the shape of the data before committing time to it.

Output

Export built for reporting and reuse

Export every row that matches the current filter, or only the ones you selected, choosing the columns. TSV that can be re-imported, formatted XLSX for further analysis, and PDF with orientation, font and layout control for the record.

TSV · XLSX · PDF

Standard inputs, one reference

FASTQ, BAM and VCF from whole-exome sequencing, targeted panels and microarrays, on hg38. Required fields are validated on upload and reported explicitly when something is missing, so a malformed file fails at the door rather than halfway through an analysis.

Named access, defined roles

Every account carries a defined set of permissions, so confidentiality and traceability of genomic and clinical data hold across a team rather than depending on who happened to open the file.

Findings are linked to a continuously updated knowledge base covering more than 40,000 conditions and 4,000 drugs.

Worked example

Why CYP2D6 needs a specialised locus-specific analysis

The CYP2D7 pseudogene keeps very high sequence identity with CYP2D6. A short read in those blocks maps equally well to both, so the aligner assigns MAPQ 0 — and the caller drops it before interpretation begins.

In our measurement, a large fraction of the reads at this locus sit at MAPQ 0. Schematic representation; metrics measured on our own samples.

A specialised locus-specific analysis

Designed to improve interpretation in complex genomic regions, where a general-purpose path cannot support a reliable result.

Structure reported, not inferred

Whole-gene deletion and duplication are reported explicitly, with the copy number stated, instead of being left implicit in a variant list.

Phenotype, not a lookup table

CPIC and DPWG implications are tied to the metaboliser phenotype and the activity score that were actually inferred for that patient.

Coverage as governance

An independent step decides evaluability per gene before a report exists. It determines what can be asserted, and what cannot.

Three principles

What the architecture is actually optimised for

01

Make the analytical limits visible

Pseudogene regions, repeat expansions and copy-number events are exactly where a linear short-read pipeline can fail without saying so. Innovare records mapping quality and coverage per region and reports an unresolved region as unresolved, so a professional never has to guess whether a clean result was actually examined.

02

Make interpretation auditable

An engine that outputs only a verdict is a black box. Innovare records its full reasoning as a ledger, so the geneticist reviews how a classification was reached — not just what it was — and can adjust it before signing.

03

Calibrate for the real population

A polygenic score trained on one ancestry can mislead in another. Innovare infers ancestry explicitly and calibrates accordingly, with attention to the Iberian and admixed Latino populations our clients serve.

AI is used where it earns its place — prioritising findings and structuring interpretation — always in service of a professional who reviews the evidence and signs. It is assistance, not autonomy.
