GenomeQuest, Inc., a US-based provider of biological sequence search, content and analysis services, has announced an alliance with scientific software company Biomatters Ltd, New Zealand. The deal is to provide researchers a ‘top-down’ discovery methodology for next generation sequencing (NGS) projects.
Specifically, the companies will integrate Biomatters’ desktop analysis and visualisation software, Geneious Pro v4.8, with GenomeQuest 6.0Beta, an SDM platform which allows research organisations to manage and mine their sequence data across a portfolio of projects as well as the world of reference data. The new integrated product service will allow researchers to perform global mining on their NGS projects to identify areas of interest, complete their local investigations with familiar desktop analysis and visualisation tools, and manage their sequence data throughout the process.
Both companies share a vision for increasing the ease and speed with which researchers will be able to mine, manage and share sequence data, leading to shorter discovery periods and cost-saving efficiencies. The technical launch of the integrated product service is planned for October 2009.
