cnTrack

Overview

At its core cnTrack provides a secure and scalable way to store, retrieve and manage aCGH and SNP array data in a Cytogenetic laboratory.  cnTrack organizes laboratory-wide analysis of chromosomal aberrations across all major aCGH and SNP array platform including Affymetrix, Agilent, Illumina, PerkinElmer, Roche-Nimblegen and custom arrays.  Seamless integration of aberration detection and interpretation software oneClickCGH and CGH Fusion ensures precise and reliable DNA Copy Number analysis in a high-throughput environment. Clinical users of cnTrack benefit from built-in handling of biological and demographic attributes of individual samples and comprehensive aberration reporting formats. State-of-the-art dataset analysis engine enables clinicians and researchers to construct, curate and visualize aberration profiles built on large sets of accumulated samples and to re-use them in their routine array-based Cytogenetic tests. This combination of aCGH database and Copy Number analytics components makes cnTrack a truly unique aCGH software package capable of standardizing and supporting array data analysis workflow across laboratories.

CN-Targeted Workflow

cnTrack is designed for array users to facilitate DNA Copy Number reporting/interpretation workflow and its evolution in a Cytogenetic laboratory. Its integration with oneClickCGH and CGH Fusion provides access to state-of-the-art aberration detection tools and graphics-rich Copy Number visualizations for all group members. All these features make cnTrack a unique institution-wide array CGH database solution that answers all your Cytogenetic software needs.

Architecture

cnTrack is built on a modern web oriented architecture that is flexible enough to be deployed on single workstations or larger multi-server high availability configurations. For storage, cnTrack was designed to support a wide range of commercial and open source databases commonly used in clinical and research copy number analysis.
