Cogent NGS Immune Profiler Software

Version 1.6.1

Overview

Cogent NGS Immune Profiler is software designed to analyze sequence data stored in FASTQ files generated by Illumina sequencers from libraries prepared using certain Takara Bio immune profiling kits. After analyzing sequence data, the output CSV file can be uploaded to our web-based Cogent NGS Immune Viewer to quickly visualize immune profiling data and generate publication-ready figures.
