Today at the Biotechnica / Bio-IT World Europe conference in Hannover, Germany, BIOBASE and CLC bio announced a partnership to integrate BIOBASE's comprehensive TRANSFAC® database with CLC bio's popular workbenches and award-winning server solution.
This partnership will provide researchers working with Next Generation Sequencing data with instant access to experimentally proven knowledge for their genomics analyses by combining CLC bio's cutting edge algorithms and user-friendly platform with BIOBASE's best-in-class collection of eukaryotic gene regulation data. CLC bio has already started integrating TRANSFAC® as a plug-in into their workbenches and enterprise platform, and expects to release it commercially in the Spring of 2010.
CEO at CLC bio, Thomas Knudsen, says, “It's a strategic goal for us to partner with companies who can deliver added benefits to our solutions, and together with BIOBASE we're essentially forming a scientific dream team in the genomics era, by combining our award-winning platform with the best company in the world at gathering and indexing biological information.”
CEO at BIOBASE, Michael Tysiak, continues, “CLC bio offers a world class platform for user-friendly, fast, and advanced bioinformatics analysis of sequence data. Together we can tremendously enhance researchers' output, by giving them an integrated workflow and reporting tools which combine the best algorithms within genomics with the best gene regulation data.”
Representatives of both companies are present at the conference in Hannover between October 6 and 8, and are happy to answer questions and elaborate further at booth C27. In the future both companies will be promoting and selling each other's solutions.
