CLC Bioinformatics Cell - hardware-acceleration on your desktop

Do you know how many search results you are missing when using BLAST? Up to 50% of the hits are not found using BLAST. If you want 100% of the answers, and still want fast searches, you can improve the quality of your research by using the CLC Bioinformatics Cell.

The Cell includes the fastest Smith Waterman implementation ever made on standard hardware - nucleotide searches are accelerated up to 110 times and protein searches are accelerated up to 50 times on new computers.

High-Performance Computing
- The next generation

Version 2.1.1 - Released April 11 2008
With CLC Bioinformatics Cell, your bioinformatics work will be accelerated up to 100 times, giving you more biological insight and higher quality results in less time. On a modern computer, the Cell provides these accelerations:

  • 37 times faster HMMER (finding protein domains and remote protein homologs)
  • 100 times faster Smith-Waterman based BLAST searches (finding best DNA, RNA, and protein sequence matches)
  • 10 times faster ClustalW (multiple sequence alignments)

These speeds are realized on standard computers, effectively bringing High-Performance Computing to your desktop.

 

 
 

 
Is the solution hard to work with?

Not at all! You can choose three different ways, depending on your needs and preferences:

  • A command line interface like the one usually used when running HMMER, BLAST, and ClustalW.
  • A user-friendly and graphical user interface giving you the opportunity to carry out whole workflows and data management in one application.
  • A Web interface, giving everybody in your organization remote access to the accelerated algorithms by typing in a URL in their Web browser.

The price/performance of the Cell is of course the best in the market.

 

 

With the Cell, you can speed up a Smith Waterman search previously taking 2 hours to around 1 minute, and the Cell thus removes the argument for using BLAST. Sign up to learn more
