CLC Bio and PSSC Labs have launched CLC Genomics Factory for assembly, read mapping, and downstream analysis of large amounts of high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing data.
CLC Genomics Factory comes in three different sizes with varying numbers of compute nodes, capable of processing the data output from up to 10 Illumina Hiseq2000 or seven Life Technologies Solid 4 systems.
The bioinformatics appliance is built around CLC Bio's enterprise platform, including the CLC Genomics Server and CLC Bio's accelerated algorithms for full-genome assembly and analysis.
Multiple licenses for CLC Genomics Workbench enable users to interface with the server software through either a user-friendly graphical user interface or, optionally, a command line interface.
CLC Genomics Factory also includes support for CLC Bio's Software Developer Kit for those wishing to integrate third-party systems and software.
CLC Genomics Factory includes a master node, multiple job nodes, as well as varying amount of storage.
