CLC bio, the world's leading bioinformatics solution provider, released CLC Bioinformatics Database to enable research organizations, from small university departments and clinical labs to large biotech and pharmaceutical companies, to maximize their potential, through increased productivity.
The company said this database solution would give companies a more efficient use of R&D budgets, as an increase in productivity will help increase the number of drug candidates.
"CLC Bioinformatics Database raises the bar for what can be expected from a database solution! Our development team has focused on eliminating classic obstacles such as different operating systems, limited support for database formats, or limited access to a central storage facility. The security and management facilities in CLC bio's Bioinformatics Database can potentially help organizations stop misuse or loss of data, as well as help protect their intellectual property rights," said Dr. Darrol Baker, sales manager, CLC bio.
CLC Bioinformatics Database interface can be customized to store and retrieve data directly from existing relational database in use for sharing DNA, RNA, and protein sequence database. The result is a solution that enables all users of CLC bio's software to work directly on - and fully integrated with - the organization's existing database. This ensures the same data sharing, data searching and data security characteristics as if the database had been a stand alone database - except for the fact that the CLC bio data is now fully integrated with all other sequence data in the organization. The design, API-customisation, implementation, and data migration can be carried out by the customer or by CLC bio's consultants, the company informed.
As with all other of CLC bio's solutions, CLC Bioinformatics Database is cross-platform, running on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Additionally, this solution will enable users across various workgroups to work on data in a central, shared, and secure relational database. CLC Bioinformatics Database integrates and runs smoothly with several types of databases, including Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
