System requirements for all workbenches from CLC bio
Jan 13 2011
We have updated the CLC Genomics Machine benchmarks with newer datasets and the new hardware configuration. There are two RNA-Seq data sets and a full genome mapping data set, and more will come. All the benchmarks are now using the CLC Genomics Server rather than the Assembly Cell.

Recently we interviewed the Associate Director at ICBR, University of Florida, Dr. Bill Farmerie, and the five-year veteran running next generation sequencing instruments, says today’s challenge is not dealing with the instruments themselves, but the data that comes off them:
The real challenge is not dealing with the high-throughput sequencing instruments, but the data. And why wouldn’t you adopt commercial solutions, like CLC bio? They’re simple to use and you don’t spend a lot of valuable time developing tools that already exist. Instead you should use your valuable staff time following up on the things that you can not get from a commercial developer - where you’re out breaking new ground and running ahead of everyone else! And that’s really what you want your bioinformatics staff working on, as opposed to doing something that someone else have already have done.

The recent issue of Bio-IT World Magazine has a feature on “The Road to the $1,000 Genome” coinciding with Editor in Chief, Kevin Davies‘, new book of a similar title. There’s a lot of very interesting articles on a wide range of topics that relates to the subject.
Included in all the articles, there’s also a nice piece that features CLC bio:
“Our focus is on high-throughput sequencing,” says Lasse Görlitz, head of global marketing and PR. “We like to think of ourselves as the only commercial shop which gets customers through a sequencing project of analyzing huge datasets. It’s an intelligent approach to accessing your data; instead of juggling datasets from hard disk to hard disk, everything’s centralized, which removes a lot of overhead from your network.”
This is from the “Next-Gen Sequencing Software: The Present and the Future” article, which you can find here.

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.
