We previously delved deep into how VIA™ software elevates your ability to visualize and interpret genomic data, facilitating the extraction of insights at an accelerated pace. While retaining this valuable information within your system is paramount, equally crucial is the seamless communication of your findings to stakeholders. VIA software simplifies this process by offering an effortless way to generate reports with clarity and precision through its comprehensive array of customizable reporting options. Let’s dive into how VIA software makes this possible.

In the VIA software interface, you wield the capability to create multiple templated reports containing essential case information.  Report templates can be constructed for constitutional and cancer applications.   The report generation process begins by establishing a template in Microsoft Word. Bionano provides a generic report template with representative fields, but you have the flexibility to configure or restructure it to suit your laboratory’s specific needs. Customize the report by adding or removing sample or variant level information effortlessly using Microsoft Word MergeFields associated with the software. These templated reports are seamlessly imported into VIA, becoming selectable within individual cases.

Consider an example involving an AML case. A single tiered variant, associated with a guideline target for XXXX, is designated for inclusion in the report. By selecting the variant within the table and choosing the report from the drop-down menu, VIA software swiftly generates a report encompassing the tagged sample and variant information. Although the report template is fully customizable, the default version comprises sections for sample information, a summary of findings with ISCN nomenclature, and, given the hematological malignancy context, a segment featuring key professional society guidelines indicating detection status. This is followed by a table summarizing whole genome results by the impacted chromosome, with the option to include images. Additional sections may cover variant-specific interpretations supported by critical evidence, as well as general information about the assay methodology and its limitations.

In conclusion, leveraging templated reports with VIA alleviates the time burden, ensuring consistency and accuracy compared to manual report generation processes. Present the most pertinent information alongside visuals and supporting data in just a few clicks, streamlining your genomic reporting workflow with VIA software.
