Today, we launched our API’s for Sequence Data Management on the cloud.
So what?
GenomeQuest is now for bioinformatics and computational biologists (we call them developers for short). These are people who prefer to write code in Unix, and prefer awk, perl, and sed to Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, or Chrome.
So why is that important?
With no up-front investment, developers can use the GQ API to write large-scale sequence comparison applications for the cloud without regard for the details of the computing and the reference data. And, they can publish their applications to the GenomeQuest Web Application, so research biologist customers can use and reuse them.
