CLC Bioinformatics Cube Description

CLC Bioinformatics Cube runs Smith Waterman up to 125 times faster than a 3 GHz desktop computer Through innovative use of FPGA technology we have created a Cube which runs Smith Waterman up to 125 times faster than a 3 GHz desktop computer, and acceptably close to the speed of BLAST. Smith Waterman searches taking 14 hours on the desktop are thus reduced to around 7 minutes on the Cube.This is a breakthrough for desktop-based bioinformatics, as it gives researchers the possibility of running BLAST-like searches of a significantly higher quality than before.Our comparison between BLAST and Smith Waterman shows that running BLASTp with the default expectation value of 10 often results in only half as many hits as running a Smith Waterman search on the Cube. In addition, by using the Cube instead of BLAST, you will be able to improve the quality of the data you're working with!Here are some key features of "CLC Bioinformatics Cube":· This innovative approach to FPGA-based hardware-accelerated bioinformatics provides flexibility in a range of ways:· Physical location: No need for a cooled server room. All you need is a little room on your desk.· Operating system: Connect to any type of computer via the USB port, whether it is running Mac OS X, Linux, or Windows.· Software use: The Bioinformatics Cube can be used as an integrated part of all CLC bio's workbenches, or through a command line interface.· You can even customize the Cube workflow by developing specialized cube plug-ins with the help of our Software Developer Kit.· Performance per dollar : You will get an unparalleled performance per dollar, compared to existing high-speed computing solutions in the market. What's New in This Release: · Fixed crash on very specific query sequences.
