We've heard lots of requests from customers not only to provide them with powerful methods for detection variants across multiple experiments (or phenotypes, or organisms, or lines), but for unifying all of this data to find knowledge that spans these experiments. Of course we have our variant calling workflow, just as we integrate with other variant ...
The guiding principle of the development of the GenomeQuest 6.0Beta platform is to support the complete "sequence cycle" – from uploading raw reads, to mapping them to an arbitrary reference, to generating knowledge through a variety of workflows, and then ultimately through to the assembly of those reads for use as the reference for tomorrow's ...
