CLC bio has announced an agreement with the J Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), a genomic-focused research institute, for a multi-year site license for the entire CLC bioinformatics suite of products.
The goal is to implement CLC bio's enterprise software as a scientific platform across all JCVI sites.
This enterprise software will provide different research projects at JCVI with a coherent integration layer and a standardised way of developing custom software and specialised algorithms.
Granger Sutton, senior director of informatics, said: 'This enterprise solution is a platform that integrates, supports, and enhances workflows across different technologies and geographical sites.' The enterprise software CLC bio will be implementing at JCVI contains both server structure and support for all major database formats.
This ensures the sharing of centralised bioinformatics data in a client/server architecture, where the server contains one or more databases and the clients are CLC bio's workbenches.
CLC bio's Developer Kit will enable JCVI to build targeted plug-ins for internal use, while allowing JCVI to interact based on the same platform with worldwide collaborators.
