SDM Platform
GenomeQuest 6 introduces a new category of product called sequence data management (SDM). It offers new functionality, accessibility, and methods to genomics researchers and organizations seeking to fundamentally improve the performance of their discovery process and broadly prepare for next generation sequencing (NGS).
GenomeQuest is based on an open platform which enables bioinformatics managers to:
- Share and manage sequence data throughout their environment
- Configure and extend GenomeQuest
- Share compute resources across all discoveries
- Establish common management of data and workflows across all tools, and
- Generally unify their sequence data environment.
The open platform is based on a comprehensive application programmer interface (API) which provides access to all GenomeQuest data, commands, and compute resources.
API data types include administrative, sequence databases, and sequence compares. The commands include administration, database upload/download, sequence search/compare, database joins, database read/writes, and workflows. The APIs are available via URL APIs, web services, and command line APIs.
The open platform requires and interoperates with popular RDBMS's, including Oracle and MySQL. Using a federated, best-of-breed approach, GenomeQuest 6 utilizes the RDBMS to manage all relational data -- including admin, metadata, and user annotations -- while itself efficiently and comprehensively managing all sequence data and reference annotations.
The GQ-Engine is purpose-built for large-scale sequence data management. As organizations grow into NGS, its distributed architecture maintains performance and accuracy across all critical dimensions: users, data, and tools. Also, because the compute environment, the data storage, and the management of data and workflows are all central, shared resources, the entire discovery environment of the research organization can also scale comfortably to NGS.
GenomeQuest 6 interfaces with all popular sequencing machines, including 454, Illumina, and SOLiD.
GenomeQuest 6 is commercially available for use by researchers and organization online -- for fast startup and low cost of ownership, or fully deployed inside the customer firewall -- for maximum control and integration.
