LightSpeed - enabling affordable genome sequencing analysis at scale

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and whole exome sequencing (WES) strategies have entered mainstream clinical and population genomics. Yet, the required data analysis tasks remain a bottleneck in terms of bioinformatics expertise, execution speed and operation costs. In this application note, QIAGEN introduces the new QIAGEN^® CLC LightSpeed module for the QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench Premium platform. The new module empowers genomics laboratories to perform hereditary secondary analysis with high accuracy at unprecedented runtimes. What's more, it enables this without requirements for expensive and energy-demanding specialized hardware, such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) or graphical processing units (GPUs).
