CLC bio, PSSC Labs bring turnkey solution for full-genome data analysis
Aarhus, Denmark | Saturday, August 14, 2010, 08:00 Hrs  [IST]

CLC bio and PSSC Labs announced a new turnkey solution, CLC Genomics Factory, for assembly, read mapping, and subsequent downstream analysis of very large amounts of high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing data. Built as a high-performance bioinformatics appliance, 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 7 Life Technologies SOLiD 4 systems.

Vice president Bioinformatics Solutions at PSSC Labs, Alex Lesser, states, "As we're already working with the leading instrument providers such as Roche 454, Life Technologies, and Illumina, it was a natural step for us to partner with the leading software provider within high-throughput sequencing data analysis, CLC bio. Based around their enterprise platform, we have tailored an extremely powerful turnkey solution for analyzing the vast amounts of data coming off all the different high-throughput sequencing instruments, including upcoming technologies such as Ion Torrent and Pacific Biosciences."

CEO at CLC bio, Thomas Knudsen, continues, "It was obvious for us to combine our expertise on high-performance bioinformatics algorithms and user-friendly software, with PSSC Labs' extensive experience in cluster solutions for the life science industry. We now provide the first and only turnkey solution for full-genome analysis of data from all types of high-throughput sequencing instruments. Our customers don't have to invest in a new cluster for each technology they wish to adopt: CLC Genomics Factory handles them all - now and in the future!"

CLC Genomics Factory is built around CLC bio's enterprise platform, including the award-winning CLC Genomics Server, as well as all of 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 includes also support for CLC bio's Software Developer Kit, for those wishing to integrate 3rd party systems and software.

CLC Genomics Factory includes a master node, multiple job nodes, as well as varying amount of storage.

CLC Genomics Factory is sold by CLC bio and CLC bio resellers. The computer hardware is assembled, tested, distributed, and supported by PSSC Labs who have great experience in delivering complex computer setups, with more than 1000 running installations of their clusters across 35 countries around the world. CLC bio handles the support on the software.
