7 Steps for Human Variant Analysis
In this guide, we discuss some of the challenges involved in human variant analysis and explore some of the solutions available for addressing these challenges. You will learn about important considerations to keep in mind throughout the process, whether you are working with a core facility, a bioinformatics group, or doing variant analysis on your own.

Successful De Novo Transcriptome Sequence Assembly Using RNA-Seq Data
De novo transcriptome analysis involves assembling cDNA sequences together—without the aid of a reference sequence—and then analyzing the resulting transcriptome. This technique is frequently used to study non-model organisms but is also valuable for organisms whose genome is known. Whether you are experienced with transcriptome analysis or thinking about trying it for the first time, this guide highlights factors to keep in mind when using this approach.

Protein Structure Prediction with NovaFold AI
Of hundreds of protein structure prediction algorithms that have been objectively tested, the undisputed champion is AlphaFold 2, which was released in 2020. You can access AlphaFold 2 predictions online at the EMBL-EBI database, or you can run your own protein prediction using NovaFold AI, the first commercial software licensed to use AlphaFold 2. This guide describes the steps involved in determining protein structures, the advantages and challenges of using open source AlphaFold 2, and describes how NovaFold AI provides an easier way to use this powerful algorithm.

Workflows to support
your research
We offer a wide variety of workflows for comprehensive sequence analysis; assembly and analysis of NGS, long-read, and transcriptomics data; and protein sequence analysis and structure prediction.
We know you’re busy.
We can help.
While we aim to make our software easy to use, some researchers don’t have a moment free to learn bioinformatics software. That’s why we offer genomic services for assembling, analyzing, and annotating genomic sequencing data, as well as in silico protein analysis services for antibody design, protein structure prediction, and custom pipeline integration.
