Next Generation Sequencing

In July we launched an initiative to support all the researchers investing in benchtop sequencers, like Ion Torrent from Life Technologies, GS Junior from Roche 454, or MiSeq from Illumina. Basically we offer one 6-months license of our premier desktop software package, CLC Genomics Workbench, to researchers and organizations who have bought one of these instruments.

The initiative has gotten a lot more traction than we originally anticipated, which we’re really happy about. Also, we think this is a good indication that the next generation sequencing technology is being democratized, in the sense these machines are being purchased by a lot of organizations who haven’t operated next generation sequencers before.

If you’re interested in learning more and maybe even enter our quarterly competition to win a permanent license, please check out benchtopseq.com
