Unique Molecular Identi�ers, or UMIs, are short sequences (6-12bp) added to sequencing libraries prior to PCR ampli�cation. UMIs can improve the accuracy of RNA-Seq quanti�cation and lead to improved speci�city in low-frequency variant calling for DNA-Seq. Strand NGS v3.1 implements a complete, end-to-end UMI work�ow for DNA-, RNA-, and small-RNA-Seq.
UMI Protocols with native support in Strand NGS. Strand NGS v3.1 also supports custom, user-speci�ed UMI protocols.
Confounding variable analysis for RNA- and small-RNA-Seq
Legend, before-after PCA plots (left and center) and gene regression variance scatter (right), showing the e�ect of confounding variable analysis (CVA)on a 283 sample Pan cancer RNA-Seq study. The PCA plots show how CVA removes the e�ect of batch; the regression variance plot shows how CVA reduces
the original variance, resulting from batch e�ect, on all genes.
Confounding variable analysis (CVA) is a statistical approach to remove unwanted variance from datasets. Strand NGS v3.1 implements an intuitive interface
based on Surrogate Variable Analysis (SVA), for CVA.

Analysis of large-scale RNA-Seq and small-RNA-Seq data
Large-scale RNA and small-RNA-Seq. Strand NGS v3.1 contains enhancements for the analysis and visualization of hundreds of samples in RNA- and small-RNA-Seq. Highlights include a pleasingly-graded color scheme for publication quality plots; a gene body coverage diagram; the t-SNE plot as an alternative to PCA for clustering and classi�cation of large-scale data; and several other features.
