Singapore, Feburary 2025 – We're excited to announce a major upgrade to the VITAseer software, designed to enhance the analysis of data from the VITA single-cell transcriptome platform. This powerful platform now supports a wider range of applications, including eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, along with mRNA, non-coding RNA, and a variety of sample types (fresh, frozen, fixed, and FFPE samples). To better serve evolving research needs, M20 Genomics has restructured VITAseer with three specialized analysis modules: VITAbasic, VITAeuk, and VITAprok.
1. Expanded Microbiome Functional Genome Analysis Module
The upgraded VITAbasic now includes a robust module for functional genome analysis of microbiomes. This new feature refines species genome data by eliminating redundancies and constructing a non-redundant functional gene database for comparison. In the analysis of single-cell transcriptomic data from microbiomes, a key improvement is the treatment of homologous genes. Previously, different homologous genes of the same functional gene, captured from separate bacterial cells, were annotated as distinct genes. However, with the new functional gene database, these homologous genes are now identified and annotated as a single functional gene. This advancement allows for more accurate analysis of the expression of homologous functional genes across different bacterial species, improving the understanding of functional gene expression within microbiomes.
2. Enhanced Databases & Improved Analysis Accuracy
3. Streamlined Bioinformatics Workflow
VITAbasic offers a more intuitive and flexible analysis pipeline. Users can easily customize and adjust parameters, improving the clarity of bioinformatics workflows and the overall analysis process.
4. Improved Software Compatibility
VITAbasic supports multiple major operating systems, including CentOS 7.9, CentOS 8.10, and Ubuntu 24.04, ensuring seamless installation across different environments.
