Next Generation Sequencing

Together with PSSC Labs we have introduced a new turnkey solution for full-genome data analysis today: CLC Genomics Factory

Here’s a short 3-minute video introduction:

CLC Genomics Factory handles assembly, read mapping, and subsequent downstream analysis of very large amounts of high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing data. Built as a high-performance bioinformatics appliance, CLC Genomics Factory comes in three different sizes with varying numbers of compute nodes, capable of processing the data output from up to 10 Illumina HiSeq2000 or 7 Life Technologies SOLiD 4 systems, as well as all other major high-throughput sequencing instruments.

Back in July at ISMB we handed out t-shirts that had a picture of a nice looking cake piece and this text:

It’s a piece of cake! Just like your bioinformatics should be. Try a piece of delicious cakeformatics from the cake loving company, CLC bio

The overall idea is: Who doesn’t like cake in some form or another? Almost no one. So basically ‘cake’ makes you think of something nice. And that’s the same thing our users are saying about our software: Instead of bioinformatics having to be a headache with Linux computers and mile-long command-line scripts, it’s instead multiple powerful analyses through an intuitive graphical user interface. It’s nice.

In essence: Cakeformatics is basically just bioinformatics the delicious way. Just like we like it. Enjoy!
