One platform. From sequence data to actionable pathogen intelligence.
Genome Detective is an automated data analysis and management platform that transforms raw sequencing data into fast, accurate and interpretable insights for pathogen detection, typing and mutation analysis.
Whether you work in a clinical laboratory, research or public health, Genome Detective helps you move from data to decisions, without the complexity of traditional bioinformatics pipelines.
Upload your data. Let the platform do the work. Get clear results you can trust.
Built for speed, clarity and confidence
Modern sequencing technologies generate enormous amounts of data. Turning that data into reliable insights Vaak requires specialist expertise and significant time.
Genome Detective was built to remove those barriers.
With a fully automated workflow and intuitive visual outputs, the platform enables teams to analyze sequencing data quickly and consistently.
FeaturesHow the platform works
1. Upload your sequencing data
Upload raw reads (e.g. FASTQ files), consensus sequences or contigs directly to the platform. No preprocessing or command-line tools required.
2. Automated analysis
Genome Detective performs quality control, pathogen identification, typing and mutation analysis using validated algorithms and curated reference databases.
3. Clear interpretation
Results are presented in an intuitive interface with visual summaries, lineage assignments, mutations and confidence indicators.
4. Reports & export
Download structured reports or export results for downstream analysis, collaboration or integration into your workflows.
