And Macrogen, a South Korean sequencing conglomerate, dared me to race the HiSeq ‘Xpressway to the $1000 genome’.
Illumina recently provided me with ‘a glimpse into the future of genomics’, just by clicking on their buyer’s guide. Yesterday, for example, Beckman Coulter kindly offered to ‘take the stress out of sequencing’ for only a few thousand dollars. Most mornings I wake up to a slew of spam email from biotech companies offering unbeatable bargains on next-generation sequencing (NGS).

They have the potential to streamline your research, increase your productivity, energize your classroom and, if anything, add a bit of zest to the often dry detached world of bioinformatics.īioinformatics software, CLC bio, Geneious, genome assembly, nucleotide alignment, phylogenetics software INTRODUCTION If you are just beginning your foray into molecular sequence analysis or an experienced genomicist, I encourage you to explore proprietary software bundles. Although several commercial bioinformatics programs are arguably overpriced and overhyped, many are well designed, sophisticated and, in my opinion, worth the investment. This review highlights some of the currently available and most popular commercial bioinformatics packages, discussing their prices, usability, features and suitability for teaching. Although beautifully designed and powerful, user-friendly bioinformatics packages can be expensive and, as more arrive on the market each year, it can be difficult for researchers, teachers and students to choose the right software for their needs, especially if they do not have a bioinformatics background. Given the importance of molecular sequence data in contemporary life science research, these software suites are becoming an essential component of many labs and classrooms, and as such are frequently designed for non-computer specialists and marketed as one-stop bioinformatics toolkits. Advancements in high-throughput nucleotide sequencing techniques have brought with them state-of-the-art bioinformatics programs and software packages.
