In a previous post we described the RAM dependencies for de novo genome assemblies, which showed a linear relationship with genome size. Extrapolation for assembling large, eukaryotic genomes would suggest RAM requirements measured in terabytes, but quite often de novo assembly is not the goal. Rather, you wish to align large numbers of reads against […]

With a wide variety of next-gen sequence analysis software on the market, how do you decide what will fit your needs? We sat down with DNASTAR Senior Scientist, Dr. Eric Cabot, to answer your user experience questions and to find out how variant analysis in Lasergene compares to open source tools. Read our blog post […]

DNASTAR recently released a series of white papers that compare alignment and variant calling for next-gen sequence data in Lasergene Genomics Suite to some of our commercial and open source competitors. While these papers primarily focus on accuracy and computational speed, there is a third set of metrics that is more challenging to measure: What […]

Did you know DNASTAR software has been cited in over 50,000 peer-reviewed publications? Last year alone, our software was cited in peer reviewed publications more than twice as often as any competitor’s software.   Featured here are just a few of the publications citing DNASTAR software over the past month. Check back each month for an […]
