Geospiza FinchLab for the Illumina Genome Analyzer

To help you get the information you need, we turn over 5 million short reads into meaningful information such as gene lists, read depth, WIG files, SNPs and BED files. The FinchLab analysis pipeline integrates state of the art alignment algorithms like MAQ, and converts files into more understandable formats.

These more understandable formats mean that instead of searching through 5 million reads, you can find out which are the most expressed genes in your RNA library. Then, you can intuitively link out to annotation or drill down to fill out more specific data for a particular gene. For example, with ChIP-Seq a summary of graphical chromosome overviews allows you to visually identify regions of interest.

FinchLab not only takes the raw data and transforms it into processed application data, but also summarizes the data to highlight the most interesting and important information for you.

Faster Analysis
FinchLab provides analysis services that can accelerate analysis that would take hours or days on your laptop - so that you have the results in minutes. Complex command line programs become easy with select options from pull down menus. As new algorithms and applications become available, we quickly update FinchLab so that you always have access to the latest tools.
