Strand offers Avadis NGS software for sequence analysis

Strand claimed that Avadis NGS helps biologists visualise and perform downstream analysis on their NGS data, simply on a desktop computer.

The introduction of sequencing technologies has resulted in an exponential growth of data to be scrutinised for biological insights.

The company said that Avadis NGS is an application focused on ChIP-SEQ, RNA-SEQ and genetic variation analysis that enables its users to assimilate large amounts of NGS data.

Strand executive vice president Francois Mandeville said that Avadis NGS represents a major milestone in NGS and finally shifts the power of analysis from IT and informatics experts to the biologists.
