My xBASE Announced at Genomes 2008, Paris

Mark Pallen has announced a new service for the users of xBASE entitled 'My xBASE'. My xBASE is a service to aid researchers exploit the data produced by next-generation bacterial genome sequencers such as 454 (Roche)and Solexa (Illumina).

Early applications of my xBASE will include:

• storage and processing of raw read files
• mapping (alignment) against complete genome sequences
• in silico techniques to aid finishing of incomplete sequences
• comparative analysis of SNPs and regions of differences

If you are interested in beta testing our service, please register at my.xbase.ac.uk. We will be in touch with futher instructions.
