Integromics Announces New Version of SeqSolve ^TM NGS Analysis Software

Integromics ^R today announces the release of the second version of SeqSolve ^TM, its analytical solution for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data. The latest version of Integromics’ SeqSolve features custom and proprietary annotations, new applications for ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analyzes including alternative splicing, significant improvements of the RNA-seq analysis, new gene discovery, and transcript-level differential expression.

Combining automatic Click and Go ^R workflow with Cufflinks algorithms (Trapnell et al., 2010, Nature Biotech), SeqSolve enables biologists to perform cutting edge transcriptome analysis simply.

“Currently, analytical software used in the NGS field is developed by computational, not experimental scientists. The result is Linux/Unix-based tools, which are often not created with the biologist or the bioinformatician end-user in mind,” said Dr. Michael J. McManus, CEO, Integromics. “The latest version of SeqSolve has been designed by Integromics in collaboration with top pharmaceutical companies to address their scientists’ expectations. Integromics has been able to bridge the gap between Linux command-line software and user-friendly bioinformatics applications.”

Integromics has delivered pharmaceutical company requests by including a custom annotations loader to extend the scope of the application to any species and proprietary genome annotations. This includes integrating bioinformatics methods published in peer-reviewed scientific literature (Cufflinks, SAMtools, IGV Genome Browser, MACS) in a user-friendly graphical interface essential for less computationally-oriented biologists. Also, a client/server version has been implemented for large-scale scientific projects and will be publicly available in October.

Integromics first launched SeqSolve in December 2010. For more information please see the company article page.
