Biomedical Genomics Workbench is a comprehensive and accurate data analysis platform that enables you to find the signal in the noise in your cancer and hereditary disease NGS data. With its broad selection of end-to-end analysis workflows, tools, and visualization modules, it enables easy and accurate discovery, verification, and validation of novel disease biomarkers.

Discover novel insights with greater than 95% sensitivity and unsurpassed accuracy. Biomedical Genomics Workbench guides you through a complete analysis of your genome, exome, targeted amplicon, transcriptome, and epigenetic NGS sequencing data for results you can trust.

  • Complete end-to-end and customizable analysis workflows for the comprehensive discovery, verification, and validation of novel biomarkers
  • Specialized functionalities such as primer and primer-dimer removal for highly accurate targeted amplicon sequencing results
  • High sensitivity detection of germline and low frequency variants from DNA-seq and RNA-seq data
  • Unsurpassed accuracy for copy number detection in exome and targeted amplicon sequencing data
  • Easy viewing of findings such as dynamic protein structures in 3D, and sequencing reads afford faster discovery

QIAGEN Microbial Genomics Plug-ins expand upon CLC Genomics Workbench, the industry standard platform for bioinformatics computing. Plugins and modules add a layer of specialized tools and workflows to CLC Genomics Workbench, creating a comprehensive solution for microbial genomics and metagenomics data analysis, that include:

  • Microbiome profiling detects microbes and genes in metagenomic samples, and explores links between taxonomic or functional microbiome profiles and external factors like patient health or plant yield.
  • Microbial typing of isolates at the level of genes and whole genomes is useful for characterizing pathogens, or to provide quality control for valuable strains.
  • Outbreak analysis leverages whole genome information for pathogen typing, source tracking, and epidemiological outbreak investigation.
