We've released our ChIP-Seq workflow this week, available to anyone with a Free Basic Account inside of GenomeQuest. Like all of our NGS workflows, it runs in two basic steps: a mapping step and a downstream analysis step. In this case, of course, the downstream analysis is a peak-finding algorithm. We chose the MACS modeling ...
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 ...
The past few weeks have been exciting! The rush of users to the 6.0Beta product has kept us on our toes trying to ensure that everyone can find their way around. Our users' ingenuity is thrilling to watch. The heart of the company beats in rhythm with users who take a few hundred million reads in ...
I was recently interviewed for an article by Kevin Davies at Bio-IT World on our GenomeQuest 6.0Beta launch. He immediately connected our story to "NGS" and "Cloud" computing. We have deliberately not over-played the "cloud" aspect of our offering, but as the response from the article shows, there is a lot of interest in the ...
I'm thrilled about our launch of GenomeQuest 6.0Beta because I believe it'll really have an impact on researchers' abilities to make sense of their NGS data. We've overlayed a web-based toolkit of NGS analyses on top of our world-class NGS-scale sequence data management engine, and have included all of the world's reference data. In just ...
Putting GenomeQuest 6.0Beta on the web for free use is a pretty radical step. Our servers could get over-run with data and our queues can get backed up with requests. We could face denial of service attacks from deviant users lurking on the web. Our competitors (who we consider partners and collaborators) will come to ...
