CLC claims to be the only company providing a full range of desktop based bioinformatics tools for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux operating systems - including Apple's new powerful Intel-based computers
Catherine Onley, head of product development and manufacture at Abcam, states: "We searched the market to find the best bioinformatics solution provider for this highly specialized project and I am more than satisfied with CLC bio's performance.
"Its skilled IT developers and experienced bioinformatics scientists and project manager have developed an epitope prediction solution that exceeds our expectations.
"Abcam's in-house R+D programme will benefit significantly from this.
"I look forward to the next phase of our collaboration, where we will fully integrate the epitope prediction solution with our Lims system".
Jannick Bendtsen, project manager and senior scientific officer at CLC bio, said: "We are very proud to help Abcam improve its R+D workflows and performance through this software consulting assignment.
"From a personal perspective, I'm thrilled to work on this Abcam project as it has been scientifically challenging.
"I look forward to seeing Abcam improve its competitive edge using this new bioinformatics".
Parts of the epitope prediction functionalities will be included in future versions of CLC protein workbench and CLC combined workbench, which will facilitate epitope prediction in basic research.
The unique Abcam-related work will be kept confidential between the two parties.
The Abcam product is designed as a plug-in that is then fully integrated with the CLC combined workbench, CLC bio's desktop-based DNA, RNA, and protein sequence analysis and data management software. Request a free brochure from CLC bio ...
