CLC bio Leads Pan-European €1.6M Comparative Genomics Project

14-Jan-2011 - Denmark

CLC bio announced to be heading a pan-European comparative genomics project, COGANGS (Comparative Genomics and Next Generation Sequencing), to develop a software suite, where up to one thousand genomes, can be used as knowledge input in gene regulation analysis.

The project is sponsored by the European Union with 1.6 Million Euro , and besides CLC bio, the project involves, BIOBASE (Germany), deCODE genetics (Iceland), Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics (Hungary), BioRainbow (Russia), and the University of Oxford (United Kingdom).

The COGANGS project will develop a software suite, where a large number of genomes can be used as knowledge input in gene regulation analysis, like analysis of which factors influence gene regulation, how much impact they have on gene regulation, how they can be identified in the genome of interest, how different gene regulation factors influence each other, and how they work in combination. Such software will be able to provide completely new knowledge, and will thus have tremendous value to life science researchers globally.
