Genomics and next generation sequencing (NGS) is transforming life-science research. This seminar details the fast-growing GenomeQuest sequence data management (SDM) platform for researchers and its new, cloud-enabled API for developers. In total, the seminar will show how life science organizations, with SDM, can manage sequence data across their entire environment — now including the cloud — and accelerate their advance to NGS.
Over 160 leading life science companies use GenomeQuest for mission-critical work, including 17 of the top 20 pharmaceuticals. This seminar concludes with free basic account (FBA) startup for attendees.
Topics for Researchers
- Show how researchers can compare and mine their sequence data, annotations, and findings across millions of reads — from a simple web-browser
- Import sequence-read data and reference genome data from a wide variety of sources, including the world’s largest collection of sequence reference databases
- Launch the different workflows and connected tools, discussing parameter settings, and analyzing their results
- Share and aggregate results through ‘physical’ and “virtual” databases
- How to work with instruments from LIFE, Illumina, and other popular providers
Topics for Developers
(including bioinformaticians and computational biologists)
- Configure and customize SDM to support all research and clinical workflows
- Unify and cloud-enable SDM across users, instruments, tools, databases, projects, and organizations
- Scale their SDM to NGS and secure, cloud-level sharing of sequence data and results
- Address the high-performance and scalability demands of NGS
- Review the full range and listing of API services: engine-level, workflow-level, and cloud-level
- Understand the GQ-Engine basics, including its multi-algorithm alignment/comparison, built-in parallelism, and unified sequence/annotation data model
- Understand how developers can innovate on the cloud and securely publish workflows and applications to extended communities
