“NextGENe is a powerful desktop solution for the assembly of SOLiD’s color space reads for de novo assembly,” said Kevin LeVan, NextGENe product manager for SoftGenetics. “The longer read lengths enabled by the new SOLiD 3 System allow researchers to successfully conduct de novo sequence assembly for smaller organisms. The NextGENe software, with our proprietary assembly methodology, complements the SOLiD 3 System by providing biologists and clinical researchers with a streamlined analysis pipeline without major investment in computer hardware and bioinformatics staff.”
