Geospiza Previews GeneSifter® Analysis Kit™ Offering and Microarray Lab Management at ABRF
Enhancements Enable Closer Integration between GeneSifter Lab Edition and GeneSifter Analysis Edition
MEMPHIS, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Geospiza, Inc., the market leading developer of genetic analysis software, previews new capabilities for GeneSifter Lab Edition and GeneSifter Analysis Edition at the Association for Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) in Memphis this week.
GeneSifter Lab Edition will now support Microarray instruments from Affymetrix and Illumina, enabling management, distribution and storage of microarray data to complement the GeneSifter Analysis Edition offering. N. Eric Olson, Vice President of Product Development for Geospiza noted, “Now, our microarray lab customers have the ability to store, manage and distribute their data in a format compatible with GeneSifter Analysis Edition – giving them the same end-to-end solution that our Next Gen and Sanger customers have. As we extend the breadth and depth of our platform, we will continue to increase support for existing and new technologies.”
Geospiza also introduces its GeneSifter Analysis Kit offering at ABRF – a validated solution to the challenges scientists face in working with large data files from Applied Biosystems SOLiD and the Illumina Genome Analyzer. These pipelines are just the first step in an aggressive roadmap to help realize the promise of this exciting technology. The following GeneSifter Analysis Kit™ Pipelines are available today:
- Digital Gene Expression for Illumina Genome Analyzer and Applied Biosystems SOLiD
- mRNA Expression Analysis Kit for Illumina Genome Analyzer and Applied Biosystems SOLiD
- RNA-Seq Analysis Kit for Illumina Genome Analyzer and Applied Biosystems SOLiD
- Tag Profiling Analysis Kit for Illumina Genome Analyzer
- Small RNA Analysis Kit for Applied Biosystems SOLiD
- ChIP-Seq Analysis Kit for Illumina Genome Analyzer
- Resequencing Analysis Kit for Illumina Genome Analyzer
- Mutation Discovery Analysis Kit for Illumina Genome Analyzer
- Variant Analysis Kit for Illumina Genome Analyzer
“You hear so much about how difficult data analysis is for Next Gen data – and we are pleased to be able to provide a solution to this challenge,” commented Rob Arnold, President of Geospiza. “Through our unique business model, we are also able to offer these solutions affordably, without a large, upfront investment – which makes them accessible to any scientist.”
