Future Directions
In news posted on their website, Biomatters plan to launch a new software product called Geneious Server in the second half of 2010 specifically to target the high intensity computational needs associated with Next Generation Sequence assembly, phylogenetics and sequence analysis. The Geneious Server will be capable of acting as a workstation or as a submit node to a Sun Grid Engine Linux cluster.
Biomatters are also currently in the private beta testing phase of the Geneious LIMS, a plugin that has been developed with the University of California Berkeley and the Smithsonian Institution as part of the Moorea Biocode Project. The Geneious LIMS connects data in a field database to the data in the laboratory database and tracks the entire barcoding workflow from tissue sample, through DNA extraction, PCR amplification, DNA sequencing reactions, 'barcode' contig assembly, binning, taxon verification and submission to BARSTOOL or BOLD databases at NCBI. A generalized version of the Geneious LIMS plugin is expected to be provided as a free "Pro only" plugin to all researchers in the last quarter of 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or directions:
“I am not naturally ... “A bag of wind”; yet ... I mean deliberately and decidedly “to cut” in future all my old ideas on this head. I don’t think modesty “pays.” It is a good quality in a family, it is a domestic virtue, it makes a home happy after you have got a home, but it is not potent in getting homes. It is not a money-maker, neither is it lucky in gaining a reputation. I am of the impression that gaseous bodies do better.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The cannon thunders ... limbs fly in all directions ... one can hear the groans of victims and the howling of those performing the sacrifice ... it’s Humanity in search of happiness.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
