CLC bio has released its enterprise platform for Next Generation Sequencing data analysis, CLC Genomics Server, in version 2.0.
It has been expanded with a range of new and improved features assisting organisations of any size in building and managing a modern, flexible and efficient enterprise platform for analysing and handling high-throughput sequencing data.
With the new version, parallelisation of job executions on multiple computers at the same time is made possible through multiple job nodes.
Easy integration of third-party command-line tools and algorithms provides end users with easy access through a graphical user interface.
Support for file sharing and data management on file systems and databases, including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL and MySQL is included.
Additional high-throughput sequencing analyses include Digital Gene Expression (RNA-sequencing), complementing the de novo assembly, reference assembly, SNP and DIP detection, as well as ChIP-seq analysis.
CLC bio's three-tier enterprise platform comprises server software for heavy calculations on existing or new powerful central computers and centralised data sharing and data management.
The server includes an Application Programming Interface (API) for integration and custom plug-in development.
CLC Genomics Server has been awarded the Best of Show prize at the Bio-IT World Conference and Expo 2009.
The tool has been sold to customers in the pharmaceutical, agricultural and human biotechnology industries, as well as to governmental and academic-research institutions.
