CLC bio's solutions fully compatible with Windows Vista and upcoming Mac OS X Leopard

4 Jul 2007

CLC bio has once again proven their commitment to delivering true cross-platform software and regular updates with new and improved features. With last week's major release of their software workbenches, CLC bio now fully supports Windows Vista, as well as the upcoming Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard", scheduled for release by Apple Inc. in the fall of 2007.

CLC bio's Vice President, Jan Lomholdt, states
Through our affiliation with Microsoft's BioIT Alliance, and being part of Apple's Solution Provider program, we're always dedicated to supporting the newest operating systems and maintaining our profile as cutting edge bioinformatics solution providers. However, being cross-platform is also a tremendous advantage for our customers as we have eliminated the tedious processes of porting data and establishing workflows across different operating systems, such as Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.

Last week's major release implies that all CLC bio's workbenches have been improved and numerous new features have been added, to the benefit of upcoming customers as well as the more than 40,000 users around the globe who already use CLC bio's solutions.

CLC bio's premier software solution, CLC Combined Workbench, contains all features from CLC Free Workbench, CLC Protein Workbench, and CLC DNA Workbench (formerly known as CLC Gene Workbench). Furthermore it now also covers all the features from the brand new CLC RNA Workbench, and thus offers even more value for money as the price has not increased.

With CLC RNA Workbench, CLC bio offers a solution, which will help RNA researchers to a considerably more efficient workflow, and thereby also save precious time in the research phases. Furthermore, researchers will get better quality in the results, due to the easy and user-friendly access to the cutting edge algorithms included in this new workbench. CLC bio offers a free 30-day trial of CLC RNA Workbench which can be downloaded from the article webpage.

CLC DNA Workbench Software

CLC bio

The 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.

CLC Protein Workbench Software

CLC bio

Protein Analysis Software - the Next GenerationCLC Protein Workbench creates a software environment enabling users to make a large number of advanced protein sequence analyses, combined with smooth data management, and excellent graphical viewing and output options. Protein Workbench sets new standards for bioinformatics software with its overall graphical display, usability driven and user-friendly interface, while featuring a number of unique and innovative bioinformatics tools for supporting advanced biochemistry lab research. Platform independent CLC Protein Workbench is from the new generation of bioinformatics software - software that also runs on the latest versions of Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Innovative CLC Protein Workbench is based on a modern, post-genomic, IT architecture. The program is continuously expanded with additional features on the basis of user feedback. If you need any special analyses or data management options, we will implement it smoothly, efficiently - and fast! Intuitive Protein Workbench is developed on the basis of feedback from thousands of users. The result is a graphically based user-interface and a very user-friendly and intuitive program. CLC Protein Workbench can be learned in hours - not days. Effective CLC Protein Workbench reduces manual work tasks and the risk of errors to a minimum: All data management options, as well as all bioinformatics analyses such as BLAST searches, secondary structure predictions, PFAM domain searches, hydrophobicity analyses, and much more are integrated in one single program. Tedious copy/pasting and letter-typing is hereby eliminated while also erasing the risk of missing something in your electronic log of work performed during your research.
