DNAnexus free account: next-gen sequence analysis in the cloud
Hi everyone, if you haven't heard of us yet, I wanted to introduce you to DNAnexus. We're a young start-up that hopes to help researchers with their next-gen sequence analysis and data management. We recently launched our web platform at http://dnanexus.com/ and we'd to love to see if we can help members of the SEQanswers community.
DNAnexus is completely web-based, which means you can access it immediately through any web browser. It's also built on top of Amazon's cloud platform, which means that you can take advantage of the huge scalability of the cloud immediately and transparently. There's nothing you need to install or purchase to start using it, just log in to the website!
You can upload sequence data from Illumina GA/HiSeq or SOLiD instruments through the website (or via a URL or even directly from the sequencing instrument), and we QC and map all your reads to reference automatically. You can then visualize all your mappings in our integrated genome browser, where you can pan & zoom your data in real-time. All your data is stored in the cloud and can be accessed at any time, and we also make it easy to share your samples with any other user. Finally, you can run analyses like ChIP-seq, RNA-seq expression and alternative splicing, restriction site quantification, and more - right from your web browser with the click of a button.
I want to invite everyone to go to http://dnanexus.com/ and sign up for a free account. No need for a credit card or anything, all you need is an email address. We've pre-loaded every free account with a collection of demo samples and analyses that you can explore and play around with. As part of the free account, you can also upload up to 3 of your own lanes of Illumina data to see for yourself how it works.
Our goal is to make sequence analysis as easy and accessible as possible, and we hope that you'll find our pricing after 3 samples at http://dnanexus.com/pricing to be a really cost-effective way to manage your sequence analysis.
Finally, I want to encourage all of you to send me feedback personally at [email protected] to help us improve our platform. The more we hear what you want, the more useful we can hopefully be for the community!
Best,
Andreas
