Announcing ChIP-Seq Support

GenomeQuest — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:30:19 +0000

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 software for peak modeling. (You can see the entire workflow’s documentation here.) Integrated into the GenomeQuest Sequence Data Management platform, it outputs a heavily annotated sequence database, which can then be interactively filtered, grouped, sorted, and mined for peaks of interest. And this can all be connected to your RNA-Seq and resequencing data to get the global picture.

So now researchers can go from their ChIP-Seq NGS runs directly to gene-based annotation of the peaks found by their biology. Select regions of interest, or genes of interest, or peaks of a certain class, and drill down to see the actual evidence that backs up the call.

We’re giving away free ChIP-Seq runs to the first 100 people to sign up.

As always, feel free to leave a comment – we read every one.

GenomeQuest 6.0Beta Launch Update

GenomeQuest — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:07:14 +0000

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 color space and do RNA-Seq over a time series. It’s a really fun time to be at GenomeQuest – there are lots of discoveries waiting to be made in the pent up unanalyzed NGS data that has been pouring in.

Coming soon… ChIP-Seq, Velvet, much more…
