CLC Bio has released version 3.0 of its software for analysing and visualising next-generation sequencing data, CLC Genomics Workbench.
The latest version offers features such as digital gene expression, expression analysis of micro arrays and RNA-seq data, plus an overhauled long reads assembler that is up to 15-times faster than the previous version.
'With this release we offer a complete cross-platform solution that combines expression analyses with next-generation sequencing, thereby building a bridge between digital and analogue gene expression,' said Dr Roald Forsberg, director of scientific solutions at CLC Bio.
CLC Genomics Workbench can analyse and visualise data from all major next-generation sequencing platforms, such as Illumina's Genome Analyzer, Solid by Applied Biosystems, 454 by Roche, and Heliscope by Helicos.
CLC Genomics Workbench is platform independent, running on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
