CLC Genomics Workbench 8: A Comprehensive Analysis Package for NGS Data

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized the field of genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, and metagenomics. However, analyzing and interpreting the massive amount of data generated by NGS platforms can be challenging and time-consuming. Therefore, researchers need a powerful and user-friendly software solution that can handle all types of NGS data and workflows.

One such solution is CLC Genomics Workbench 8, a cross-platform desktop application developed by QIAGEN. CLC Genomics Workbench 8 is a comprehensive analysis package that supports all typical NGS workflows and applications, as well as all major NGS platforms, including Illumina, IonTorrent, Oxford Nanopore, and PacBio. It also integrates with QIAGEN's cloud-based solutions and databases for enhanced functionality and scalability.

Features of CLC Genomics Workbench 8

CLC Genomics Workbench 8 offers a range of features that make it easy and efficient to analyze NGS data. Some of the main features are:

• Intuitive and user-friendly interface: The software is designed by biologists for biologists, with an intuitive graphical interface and user-friendly analysis capabilities. Users can easily import, visualize, explore, and export their data, as well as perform quality control, trimming, mapping, variant calling, annotation, filtering, and reporting. Users can also customize their workflows and share them with colleagues.

• Cutting-edge technology and algorithms: The software incorporates cutting-edge technology and the newest state-of-the-art algorithms for NGS data analysis. For example, it includes unique read mapping and de novo assembly features, as well as applications for resequencing, ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, DNA methylation (bisulfite sequencing), and microbial genomics. It also supports long-read sequencing data from Oxford Nanopore and PacBio platforms.

• Biomedical genomics analysis: The software provides tools and workflows for biomedical genomics analysis, including whole-exome sequencing (WES), whole-genome sequencing (WGS), RNA-seq, and SARS-CoV-2 panel analysis. It enables sensitive detection of SNPs, MNVs, InDels, tandem repeats, structural variants, fusion genes, CNVs, and LoH. It also annotates variants with conservation scores and filters them based on dbSNP and ClinVar databases. Additionally, it integrates with QIAGEN's Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) for functional interpretation of variants.

• Template workflows: The software includes template workflows for common NGS applications, such as hereditary disease analysis (trio analysis, family-of-four), oncology somatic mutation detection (single sample or tumor-normal matched samples), differential expression analysis (gene and transcript levels), de novo prediction of eukaryotic genes using GeneMark-ES, methylation profiling, and fast long-read assembly for large eukaryotic genomes. These workflows can be used as they are or modified according to the user's needs.
