GeneGlobe
Experiment planning, assay discovery, and data analysis for PCR, NGS, and custom molecular workflows.
Overview
GeneGlobe is QIAGEN's integrated research planning platform designed to connect every stage of the experimental workflow — from target exploration and assay selection through to data analysis and follow-up study planning. Built for biologists, it brings together predesigned assays and panels, custom product designers, curated biological knowledge, and data analysis tools in a single, unified environment, reducing the time spent switching between disparate tools and helping researchers stay focused on the science.
Whether you are setting up an experiment for the first time or optimising an established workflow, GeneGlobe provides the resources to turn biological questions into interpretable data. The platform supports a broad range of applications including PCR, NGS, digital PCR, and more, and is backed by QIAGEN's deep assay design expertise.
Core Capabilities
- Predesigned assays and panels: Access millions of expertly predesigned assays and panels for PCR, NGS, and additional applications, all built around QIAGEN's assay design expertise and ready to match your specific targets.
- Gene and pathway knowledge: Explore up-to-date gene data, interaction networks, and curated biological pathways to inform and guide experimental design decisions.
- Custom product builders: Create custom products tailored to your experiments using user-friendly design tools — no specialist design expertise or guesswork required. Builders are available for a range of product types, including custom miRCURY LNA miRNA Inhibitors and QIAseq xHyb NGS panels.
- Integrated data analysis tools: Analyse PCR or NGS results quickly and plan follow-up studies using analysis tools built directly into the platform.
Advanced Search and Product Discovery
- GeneGlobe's advanced search functionality allows researchers to find exactly the right assay or panel in seconds, with the ability to refine results by species, application, target type, or format.
- Products and panels can be compared side by side, enabling faster and more informed purchasing decisions.
- The search experience is designed to eliminate irrelevant results and surface precise answers without wasted time.
NGS Panel Design for Pathogen Profiling
- The QIAseq xHyb custom designer allows researchers to select up to 20 microbial species and automatically maps, optimises, and finalises an NGS panel for broad subspecies coverage.
- Multiple critical pathogens can be tracked in a single sequencing run, making it well suited for infectious disease and microbiome research.
My GeneGlobe — Personalised Dashboard
- My GeneGlobe provides a secure, personalised dashboard that consolidates all assay designs, analysis results, and Biolists in one place.
- Researchers can quickly revisit past projects, update designs, and share work with colleagues without losing track of critical experimental details.
- The dashboard is designed to keep experiments organised and moving forward regardless of application area.
GeneGlobe is accessible as a web-based platform and is suitable for researchers across discovery and translational research settings. It integrates seamlessly with QIAGEN's broader product portfolio, including QIAseq NGS solutions and miRCURY LNA tools, and is designed to support both first-time users and experienced scientists in building smarter, more efficient experimental plans.
