CLC bio was a bioinformatics software company that developed a software suite subsequently purchased by QIAGEN.
History
CLC bio started commercial activities on January 1, 2005 headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark. Its product's development was also partly funded by collaborating with researchers on grant-funded projects.[1][2] By 2012, it had additional offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Tokyo, Taipei and Delhi, with staff largely from research backgrounds (30% having a PhD)[3] and had built a userbase of around 250,000 users in both academic institutions and biotechnology companies.[4][5]
CLC bio was acquired by QIAGEN in 2013 and merged into its bioinformatics research and development division with several other purchased platforms in 2014.[6][7][8]
Software
CLC bio's main activities were in software development for desktop (
As additional capabilities were added to the software platform, it was eventually split into several themed Workbenches and plugins with collections of features relevant to different applications (e.g.
Cloud Computing
In 2017, CLC bio launched their CLC Genomics Cloud Engine[7] as a command-line driven platform for cloud-based bioinformatics workflow execution on Amazon Web Services. In 2019, this platform was adapted for and approved for use in AWS GovCloud. In 2020, CLC bio released a free plug-in that enables workflow execution on AWS directly from the CLC Genomics Workbench desktop software.[citation needed]
