Ultimate Phaser Tool (Borland Genetics)

The Ultimate Phaser tool provides Borland Genetics users direct access to the software's phasing engine.

The Ultimate Phaser provides three types of phased mono output, i.e. a DNA kit consisting of the in-phase alleles across the genome, and the two out-of-phase alleles (often referred to as out-of-phase and evil twin).

Output is produced without regard for whether the input DNA kits meet matching criteria, and inconsistent calls result in no-calls in the output. Therefore, for cases other than the parent-child scenario, the output kits must be manually "bound" to the HIR matching regions. This is typically accomplished via the Matching Segments tool.

Output from the Ultimate Phaser tool is assigned a female gender by default. When the tool is used to compare parents to children, while binding is not necessary, it is recommended that gender be assigned in the Resource Manager so that when the synthetic output resources are used as input for other tools, the X-chromosome is handled properly.
