CLC bio Makes a Big Move into High-Performance Computing with Turnkey Solution for Next Generation Sequencing Data Analyses.AARHUS, Denmark -- At the upcoming 17th international conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB)is a scientific meeting on the subjects of bioinformatics and computational biology. It has been held annually since the early 1990s. It is one of the largest and most prestigious meetings in these fields. (ISMB ISMB Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology ISMB International Society for Matrix Biology ISMB Indian Standard Medium weight Beams (construction) ) and 8th European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB ECCB European Conference on Computational Biology ECCB Eastern Caribbean Central Bank ECCB Etobicoke Community Concert Band (Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada) ECCB Electronic Configuration Control Board (US Navy) ) in Stockholm, Sweden, June 27 - July 2, CLC bio will unveil their first turnkey solution for analyzing and visualizing Next Generation Sequencing data, called CLC Genomics Machine. The turnkey solution will consist of a hardware platform, a multitude of pre-installed software tools, including various accelerated algorithms for Next Generation Sequencing data analysis, and an enterprise level database - all functioning straight out of the box. "The release of this system marks a big push into high-performance computing for life sciences and we are confident our solutions will have significant impact in the market - especially when comparing to existing biocomputing Biocomputing can mean at least two different things:
CLC bio has conducted initial performance benchmarks which show that the reference assembly of a one-fold coverage human genome can be completed in about one hour. Additionally, the included de novo assembly algorithm will enable de novo assemblies of human genomes as well as large plant genomes on one single CLC Genomics Machine in an astonishingly a·ston·ish tr.v. as·ton·ished, as·ton·ish·ing, as·ton·ish·es To fill with sudden wonder or amazement. See Synonyms at surprise. short time. CLC Genomics Machine also includes several classic bioinformatics algorithms, like BLASTp, BLASTn, hmmsearch, hmmpfam, Smith-Waterman, and ClustalW. Performance benchmarks of these algorithms against the best-selling off-the-shelf biocomputing FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. solution, shows an impressive performance advantage with this new turnkey solution from CLC bio.
