Bioinformatics tools
Through its servers, GenoScreen has its own computing power of several hundred logical processors. Through the development of software suites and pipelines, our bioinformaticians have built automated genomic and metagenomic analysis pipelines for robust, rapid and comprehensive analysis, based on our reference software suites:
- Deeplex® software suite for the study of isolated microorganisms,
- Taxonomic classification,
- Functional metagenomics,
- Metatranscriptomics,
- De novo assembly,
- Differential gene expression analysis,
- Variant search (SNPs, Indels, structural variants),
- Phylogeny,
- Search for genes of interest.
