The Emedgene platform is divided into two applications:
Analyze - the genomic analysis workbench,
Curate - the knowledge management system.
Go to the nine-dot app launcher icon located on the left of the Top navigation panel 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.
Curate supports both GRCh37/hg19 and GRCh38/hg38 genome assemblies. Each time the variant is added to the knowledge base, its genomic coordinates can be converted on-the-fly from one assembly to another. To change the genome assembly, click on the Human reference icon and select the genome assembly you wish to use.
Curate is Emedgene's knowledge management solution - a searchable, private database of variants manually curated by your team.
If you encounter a variant that is already in your Curate database, it will be highlighted in the Variant table and on the Variant page.
Curate will:
save you time and effort to filter, prioritize and interpret variants,
allow for variant interpretation consistency, and
simplify variant reanalysis.
Note: To gain access to the Curate application, you will need the appropriate user roles. Additional roles are also required if you want permissions to export variants, create variants or update any information stored in Curate.
The Curate navigation panel is a vertical left-side panel that serves as a guide to the curated database.
