CLC Bio and Omixon have announced the release of the Omixon Gapped Solid Alignment plug-in for full integration into the CLC Genomics Workbench.
The release agreement allows CLC Bio to offer Omixon's plug-in for Life Technologies' Solid sequencing platform directly to customers.
CLC Bio and Omixon have implemented different approaches to analysing high-throughput sequencing data.
CLC Bio's software is a general platform for handling any sequence data regardless of which sequencing platform it originates from.
Omixon's approach is to develop data analysis solutions specifically designed for particular sequencing technologies and, among other things, take DNA evolution models into account.
