CLC Workbench v4.5 supports paired-end data for RNA-sequencing
21 Feb 2011
CLC bio has upgraded its software for genomics,
transcriptomics, and epigenomics analysis. CLC Genomics Workbench v4.5
gives molecular biologists access to high-throughput sequencing datasets
with powerful bioinformatics algorithms through a user-friendly
graphical user-interface.
"Our RNA-seq analysis now supports the use of paired-end data for
RNA-seq. A combination of single reads and paired reads can also be
used, and expression values can now be stratified into
transcript-level expression values, both for single and paired
reads, allowing users to compare two different samples across
transcripts," said Solution Delivery Manager at CLC bio, Søren
Mønsted.
"Another important new feature is our batching functionality of
all our high-throughput sequencing tools, enabling researchers to
perform the same analysis on several elements in one batch, which is
an easy way to analyze multiple datasets in one go and thereby save
time for setting up and running the same type of analysis multiple
times."
Other additions include redesigned multiplexing and BLAST tools,
as well as a new algorithm for mapping SOLiD reads.
