Fragment analysis remains a core technique across molecular biology, genetics, and clinical diagnostics. In 2025, laboratories continue to rely on capillary electrophoresis (CE) for assays ranging from MLPA and MSI to chimerism and Fragile X — but rising workflow demands call for more efficient, integrated analysis tools.
In this webinar, Dr. Teresa Snyder-Leiby, with over 30 years of expertise in molecular research, forensic analysis, and clinical diagnostics has provided an in-depth walkthrough of current trends, practical workflow solutions, and how GeneMarker® and ChimeRMarker® streamline post-genotyping interpretation.
While CE-based fragment analysis is robust and widely used, laboratories often encounter recurring workflow obstacles, including:
Large batches of CE data can slow down review and reporting, especially when relying on manual or legacy software.
Assays such as MLPA, MSI, LOH, Trisomy, Cystic Fibrosis, and Fragile X require precise size calling, quality assessment, and consistent interpretation across runs.
Chimeric and MCC analyses demand sensitive detection of minor peaks and accurate quantification across multiple markers.
Standardizing analysis across researchers, instruments, or sites remains a challenge without unified software workflows.
This webinar has demonstrated how GeneMarker® and ChimerMarker® simplify and accelerate CE fragment analysis through an integrated, user-friendly interface.
Both platforms accept standard CE output formats and automatically detect size standards, assign alleles, and flag quality issues — reducing hands-on review time.
Interactive electropherograms, automated peak labeling, and customizable quality checks help eliminate noise, improve confidence, and simplify complex assays.
The session included walkthroughs of two embedded, post-genotyping applications, showing how the software supports:
MLPA
MSI
LOH
Trisomy assays
Cystic Fibrosis panels
Fragile X
MCC analysis
Chimerism testing
GeneMarker® and ChimeRMarker® generate clear, consistent reports suitable for research teams or clinical environments.
The webinar highlighted real-world contexts where modern fragment analysis tools make a measurable impact:
Accurate sizing, allele calling, and repeat analysis for standard CE assays.
Reliable genotyping and marker evaluation for breeding and trait studies.
Streamlined review for MLPA, MSI, LOH, Fragile X, Trisomy, and other diagnostic-relevant assays.
Sensitive detection and quantification of donor/recipient markers.
As labs transition away from manual or outdated workflows, GeneMarker® and ChimeRMarker® offer:
Simplified post-genotyping workflows
Automated data interpretation
Support for a wide range of CE assays
Faster reporting and improved consistency
An intuitive, researcher-friendly interface
Guidance backed by scientific support staff
Together, these tools help researchers and clinicians move confidently from raw CE data to actionable insights.
