NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Tataa Biocenter and Strand Life Sciences have formed a strategic partnership, under which Tataa will distribute Strand's next-generation sequence data analysis software — Strand NGS — in Europe and also provide support for customers in that market.
Gӧteborg, Sweden-based Tataa also said that it will use Strand NGS, an integrated platform that offers tools for analyzing, managing, and visualizing NGS data, in its NGS training courses. Features of the platform include workflows for handling and analyzing DNA-seq, RNA-seq, small RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and methyl-seq data; a browser tool for visualizing SNPs, insertions and deletions, large structural rearrangements, and more; and annotations for several standard organisms culled from various sources.
The partnership with Bangalore, India-based Strand enables Tataa to address customers' demands for comprehensive solutions that support their NGS workflows, Mikael Kubista, Tataa's president, said in a statement.
