Cogent NGS Discovery Software
Version 1.0
Overview
Cogent NGS Discovery Software v1.0 (CogentDS) is bioinformatic software for user-friendly analysis of sequencing data generated with Takara Bio platforms. The Cogent NGS Analysis Pipeline v1.0 (CogentAP) can be used to prepare files ready for import into CogentDS.
Key update: Improved clustering and visualization
Beginning with CogentDS, top Principal Components can be reduced and visualized using the Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP, recommended) method as well as the t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) method.

Example of a UMAP analysis chart on the CogentDS web interface. The user controls to modify the chart display are shown alongside a resulting scatterplot.
