C1. ILLUMINA SOFTWARE PLATFORMS TO TRANSFORM THE PATH TO<br />
KNOWLEDGE AND DISCOVERY<br />

The next big bottleneck in the biological sample to answer workflow has undoubtedly moved beyond the generation of<br />
the raw data towards its initial processing and analysis and even more so its biological and medical interpretation. There<br />
are two main reasons why this is particularly challenging for research organisations to successfully accomplish. Firstly<br />
there is a need to easily and securely analyse, archive and share sequencing data as well as to simplify and accelerate the<br />
data analysis with push button tools using widely validated and scientifically accepted algorithms. Secondly there is a<br />
requirement to normalize, standardize and curate not just their proprietary data from multiple studies, but to do it in a<br />
way that allows them to compare it in real time to data produced from public domain studies. Illumina provides two<br />
integrated software platforms to overcome these challenges called BaseSpace and NextBio and this presentation provides<br />
an overview of the capabilities found within both to empower biologists and informaticians to interactively explore the<br />
data.<br />
