June 24, 2010 | At CHI's Beyond Sequencing conference in San Francisco, EdgeBio introduced their Science as a Service offering built with CLC bio's enterprise platform, CLC Genomics Server.
The service includes everything from experiment, project design, sample preparation, library construction, amplification and sequencing, bioinformatics and reporting. It offers customers a one-stop shop for next gen sequencing. EdgeBio is using Life Technolgies' SOLiD 3 sequencers that were named Tsunami, Volcano, and Hurricane by customers in April.
“In building out an integrated next generation analysis infrastructure, it was imperative that we leverage multi-faceted, commercial grade software with the ability to integrate open-source tools and proprietary internal algorithms," said Justin Johnson, director of bioinformatics in a press release. "CLC Bio provides a flexible and scalable enterprise platform which allows us to focus our efforts on providing scientific service to EdgeBio's customers.”
