The Emedgene platform is divided into two applications:
Analyze—genomic analysis workbench
Curate—the knowledge management system
Go to the nine-dot app launcher icon located on the and select Curate from the dropdown menu.
Go to the nine-dot app launcher icon located on the Curate navigation panel and select Analyze from the dropdown menu.
The Dashboard tab depicts an overview of the user activity on the Emedgene platform and provides a glance at key performance indicators for an organization.
Diagnostic Yield card presents the proportion of "solved" cases out of the total number of the organization's cases of the same type.
The Case details panel provides comprehensive information about a particular case.
The Case details panel is organized into three tabs:
Case info—displays technical, operational, and clinical information about the case
Family tree—shows a graphical pedigree and sample details for each family member
Status Diagram card displays the total number of the organization's submitted cases as well as the numbers of cases under each status.
Stale Cases card highlights the cases that are stuck at one of the intermediate stages of the analysis, and are not finalized.
Network Activities panel displays a timeline of activities performed by multiple users within the organization. This log includes activity like creating a case, verifying a filter preset, changing a Case status, generating a report, and more.
Activity—provides a timeline of all actions taken within the case for audit and collaboration
Click on the row of the case you want to view. A pop-up side Case details panel will appear on the right. To close the panel, click the X icon in the top right corner.
To expand the Case details panel, click the left-pointing arrow icon on the right edge of the screen. To collapse it, click the right-pointing arrow icon at the top left of the panel.
Cases table navigation panel—enables customization of the table view, including grouping and filtering of cases
Case details panel—opens when a case is selected, providing additional information
The Case info tab includes the following information:
Case ID—a unique identifier assigned to each case by Emedgene, formatted as EMGXXXXXXXXX
Case type—the type of analysis performed:
Whole Genome
Exome
Custom Panel
Array
Sample type—the format of the sample files used in the case:
FASTQ: *.fastq.gz, *.fq.gz, *.bam, *.cram.
Project VCF: *.pvcf, *.vcf, *.vcf.gz, *.pvcf.gz
Gene list—defines whether gene list was used during analysis and how it was applied:
All genes—AI Shortlist was neither confined to nor prioritized a specific gene list
Virtual panel (In silico panel)—AI Shortlist was limited to only the genes in the gene list
Analysis type:
If field is not present—carrier analysis was not performed
Carrier—carrier analysis was performed for the selected gene list
Human reference—the genome reference used during case analysis
Ordered by—the user who created the case and the case creation date
Signed by—the user who finalized the case
Related cases—the Case IDs of other cases that share one or more samples with the selected case
Patient Information—basic demographic details:
Sex. Specified by the user
Age. Automatically calculated in years based on the provided date of birth
Additional case information can be added using custom fields, either via the API or by including extra columns in your CSV during batch case creation. This allows you to extend the case details panel with project-specific data. To enable this feature or learn more, please contact [email protected].
The Cases table navigation panel provides several tools to help you customize your table view and manage cases. It includes the following components:
The top navigation panel serves as a guide to the platform. It includes:
Case search bar

Participants—Users involved in the case, whether in submission, analysis, finalization, or those subscribed to updates. To receive email notifications, click the Subscribe icon. To unsubscribe, hover over your avatar and click the X icon
Proband phenotypes—HPO terms used to describe clinical findings in the proband
Suspected disease—if provided, includes the suspected condition, penetrance (%), and severity (mild, moderate, severe, or profound)
Maternal and Paternal ethnicity—ethnic background of the proband’s parents
Parental consanguinity—indicates whether the parents are related by blood
Report secondary findings—specifies whether secondary findings analysis was requested
Clinical note—free-text notes provided at the time of launching the analysis
The Emedgene platform utilizes the Okta Identity Management solution to control user access. This improves user management, enhances access and authentication security, and allows organizations to implement single sign-on for their users.

The Activity tab offers a timeline of case actions and enables users to leave comments. It supports key functions that enhance case management and review:
Traceability—Maintains a complete, time-stamped history of case actions
Error recovery—Allows users to identify and trace changes, such as variant edits or disease associations, made in error
Real-time collaboration – Enables teams to monitor each other’s updates as they happen, ensuring transparency
Training & quality control – Helps identify patterns in variant interpretation and supports consistent application of evidence criteria
Audit compliance – Supports clinical and laboratory documentation standards (e.g., CAP/CLIA) by providing a verifiable action history
Each activity entry includes:
Timestamp (date + time)
User name of the person who performed the action
Action description
Activity logs are kept for at least six years for full traceability.
