The concept of Biomedical Genomics Analysis

High throughput sequencing is currently revolutionizing both the cancer research and diagnostics areas. Since the introduction of "next generation sequencing" (NGS) technologies, the field has quickly moved forward, with rapid improvements in sequencing capacity and the time required for data production. As a result, in many studies the sequencing process is no longer the bottleneck. The bottleneck now is the bioinformatic analysis of the data.

The Biomedical Genomics Analysis plugin has been developed to address the bioinformatic bottleneck by offering automated workflows that cover all steps from the initial data processing and quality assurance through data analyses, annotation, and reporting.

Workflows have been developed for the following applications:

All the workflows included in the Biomedical Genomics Analysis plugin run with Reference Data Sets. Read more about it in http://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clcgenomicsworkbench/current/index.php?manual=References_management.html.
