About Progeny

Progeny Software, LLC was established in 1996 and presented the first version of the software at the ASHG (American Society for Human Genetics) Conference. The premise of the application was originally conceptualized by a local oncologist involved in a collaborative study who needed the following:

Pedigrees and data to be intimately linked together and updated simultaneously;
Pedigrees to be easy to construct and easily modified;
A fully functional database allowing for the end-user to customize it for any hereditary study, without requiring database programming skills.
Ability for multiple users to access pedigrees and data for collaboration.

These needs resulted in what is still today the most comprehensive pedigree and clinical data management software available today.

The Present

Since Progeny was introduced in 1996:

Progeny now counts customers in over 60 countries;
A major shift in focus and functionality now provides Progeny users with full genotype management. Users have the ability to track not only family-based studies, but Whole Genome Association studies containing 1000’s of samples with large arrays such as the 500K and 650K SNP arrays.
In addition, we now provide LIMS software, providing the ability to manage sample inventory (including functionality to generate and record barcodes) and customize workflows for your specific environment.
Progeny provides old-fashioned, comprehensive, toll-free customer support.

A Vision for the Future

For over 10 years, Progeny has increasingly enhanced the technology required to manage all types of genetic data. Whether it be related to pedigrees, which will one day be part of the electronic medical record, or providing genotype management and analysis, or providing a full LIMS system, Progeny is committed to bring solutions to the table for the customers we serve today. Our mission: To listen to the customer base we serve today and provide the answers they are looking for to further their research efforts.
