Update on Tools and Workflows in CLC Genomics Workbench and Server

CLC Genomics Workbench and Server solutions enable researchers to rapidly analyze and visualize the data generated by NGS machines. CLC Genomics Workbench is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms. It includes a number of features within the fields of genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics, as well as all of the tools of CLC Main Workbench.

Genomics Workbench also provides a graphical and user-friendly framework for creating, distributing, installing, and running workflows. A workflow consists of a series of tools where the output of one tool becomes the input to another tool. In this way, the user can set up a workflow to go through multiple steps of analysis. For example, the read trimming output is used for mapping to reference, the mapping file is used for variant detection, and the resulting variant track is filtered against a standard variation track.

Genomics Server is a central execution platform with flexible queuing system, and designed for advanced bioinformatics analysis and services. The Server is highly customizable on both client-side and server-side using our SDK or various command line tools. It offers maximum client-flexibility with support for the user-friendly CLC Genomics Workbench as a premium system-client.
