GenoLogics improves lab system's sequencing capabilities
Canadian company GenoLogics has upgraded its lab and management system to support genomic research labs challenged with managing large amounts of information.
Canadian company GenoLogics has upgraded its lab and management system to support genomic research labs challenged with managing large amounts of information.
The Geneus 4.0 aims to simplify end-to-end sample and data management by integrating with instruments and software programmes from leading genomics technology providers. The software allows labs to create their own workflows and processes without the need to write code. The software enables automatic execution of scripts and retrieval of results from bioinformatics pipelines, as well as an adaptive reporting framework to pull meaningful results for analysis.
Purpose-built for genomics data management, Geneus provides immediate out-of-the box impact for our clients performing PCR, microarray, genotyping and sequencing workflows.
The solution is preconfigured to address genomic workflows, including NextGen sequencing, and delivers advanced querying and reporting capabilities along with a secure web interface to facilitate collaboration.
"GenoLogics has partnered with Illumina and is now an Illumina Connect member with capabilities to integrate microarray, as well as sequencing-based workflows into their genomics data management system," said Omoshile Clement, senior product manager of Informatics for Illumina.
Illumina Connect is a bioinformatics partnership program that offers customers the ability to extend data analysis beyond Illumina's BeadStudio platform for advanced downstream analysis.
GenoLogics" vice president of Products, Sal Sanci, said: "The development of Geneus functionality to effectively manage NextGen sequencing from Illumina, ABI, Roche or other vendors, was a natural path for expanding the capabilities of Geneus."
Dr Clement, said: "We are excited to see GenoLogics taking a proactive approach and integrating their software analysis tools with sequencing platform's such as Illumina's Genome Analyzer."
Geneus is part of the GenoLogics Solutions for Research Informatics for discovery labs.
