CLC bio expands Next Generation Sequencing solutions with ChIP-sequencing
2 Jun 2009CLC bio today announced the release of new versions of their premier solutions for analyzing and visualizing Next Generation Sequencing data, the desktop application CLC Genomics Workbench, version 3.5 and the award-winning enterprise platform CLC Genomics Server, version 1.5. With this release, CLC bio is making a major push into epigenomics by supporting chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis.
The Director of Scientific Solutions at CLC bio, Dr. Roald Forsberg, PhD, stated: "ChIP-seq is a very important application of the Next Generation Sequencing technologies and we are proud to offer the first integrated solution which can easily enable researchers to go from raw data, through reference alignment and onto advanced visual and tabular output of ChIP-seq results. Besides taking us into epigenomics, our developers have also done a fantastic job of improving the speed and memory performance of our software making us very confident that we can track performance as data amounts increase."
Furthermore, today’s release includes a number of new assembly statistics and an expansion of CLC bio’s RNA-sequencing tools, including support for native color space data and more statistical tests.
CLC bio offers the first and only comprehensive analysis solutions for genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics, which can analyze and visualize data from all major Next Generation Sequencing platforms, like Illumina’s Genome Analyzer, SOLiD by Applied Biosystems, 454 by Roche, and HeliScope by Helicos. CLC Genomics Workbench is platform independent, running on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux - including 64bit versions.
A select few customers are already using CLC bio’s enterprise platform, CLC Genomics Server, which won the Best of Show award at the Bio-IT World Conference in Boston 2009, include the J. Craig Venter Institute, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and the National Institutes of Health (USA).

CLC DNA Workbench Software
CLC bioThe New Standard for Desktop-Based Bioinformatics Tools CLC DNA Workbench provides a software environment which enables users to perform advanced DNA sequence analyses such as assembly of DNA sequence data, graphically and algorithmically advanced primer design, while offering user-friendly molecular cloning tools. CLC DNA Workbench is a bioinformatics software package containing a range of specialized DNA analyses and bioinformatics tools for molecular biology. It is based on the CLC Free Workbench framework, and has similar work environment, user interface, and framework for graphical viewing. When using CLC DNA Workbench, researchers working in molecular biology labs will be able to do most daily bioinformatics work, including data management and reporting, in one single integrated and user-friendly software package. Platform independent CLC DNA Workbench is from the new generation of bioinformatics software - software that also runs on the latest versions of Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Efficient collaboration support The full compatibility between all types of CLC workbenches provides strong support for efficient collaboration within research groups; advanced analyses and data searches can be performed on a CLC DNA Workbench, while more basic work tasks may be performed by the remaining researchers equipped with CLC Free Workbenches. Throughout the project, all researchers can be given easy access to knowledge obtained through sharing of sequence data and sharing of research results. Examples could be figures showing annotated sequences, alignments and their underlying sequences, reports on DNA characteristics, phylogenetic trees, BLAST results etc.
