Edgebio introduced its Science as a Service concept built on top of CLC Bio's enterprise platform, CLC Genomics Server, at the recent Beyond Sequencing conference in San Francisco.
Edgebio's end-to-end service concept leads each scientist and project from conception and project design through bioinformatics and analysis.
Justin H Johnson, director of bioinformatics at Edgebio, said: 'In building out an integrated next-generation analysis infrastructure, it was imperative that we leveraged multifaceted, commercial-grade software with the ability to integrate open-source tools and proprietary internal algorithms.
'CLC Bio provides a flexible and scalable enterprise platform, which allows us to focus our efforts on providing scientific service to Edgebio's customers.
'Edgebio's dynamic range of services across many applications are built on top of CLC Bio's enterprise infrastructure, which allows us to provide new client-specific pipelines quickly and focus on the actual research as opposed to spending vital resources keeping a wide range of IT and bioinformatics systems online,' he added.
The Science as a Service concept includes everything from experiment and project design to sample preparation, library construction, amplification and sequencing, bioinformatics and reporting.
This approach effectively leverages customers with one single gateway to all their next-generation sequencing needs.
CLC Genomics Server is CLC Bio's enterprise platform; it offers an advanced server software platform for high-throughput sequencing, including secure and flexible bioinformatics computing.
