Development
CLC bio strive to support the latest technological developments, including the very interesting developments within Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).
For a while we have been working actively with development of solutions for supporting these technologies - behind the scene. Recently we started to make some of the initiatives public, among others our research collaboration with 5 Danish research institutions on developing a Next Generation Sequencing software platform.

This project - as well as other projects that we are involved in - will enable us to develop truly unique algorithms and software tools for analysis of Next Generation Sequencing data. In the coming months and years, we will develop a wide range of new tools suited for Next Generation Sequencing, some of which are:
- Reference assembly of genomes
- De novo assembly of genomes
- SNP detection
- Digital Gene Expression
- Metagenomics
- Clustering and assembly of EST and cDNA sequences
- A large amounts of genomics and transcriptomics downstream analyses
- Workflow support
In the first phase of our development, we focus on 454, Solexa, and SOLiD data, but soon Helicos data and others will be included. Collaboration with the instrument vendors is a natural part of our development process.
Given the enormous amounts of data, our skills and experience within High Performance Computing (HPC) is of high value, and our Next Generation Sequencing solutions will be fully integrated with existing and upcoming HPC-solutions.
Our first Next Generation Sequencing solution will be CLC Genomics Workbench, including assembly of Next Generation Sequencing data and support for a number of downstream analyses and work-tasks.
