Core Informatics Sanger Sequencing and Microarray Genotyping Apps

Jan 05, 2017

Core Informatics has released two applications for its Platform for Science that are designed to help researchers execute microarray genotyping and Sanger sequencing workflows. The company's Sanger sequencing application provides data management tools for small-scale projects in both regulated and non-regulated laboratory environments. It includes capabilities for analyzing long reads as well as for validating next-generation sequencing results. The microarray genotyping application lets users track samples as well as capture and manage data as part of large-scale genotyping projects.
