DNASTAR, a leading bioinformatics software company, and
Wageningen University and Research
Centre (Wageningen UR), the Netherlands announced today the
signing of a broad license agreement for the use of Lasergene
sequence analysis software developed by DNASTAR.
Under the terms of the site license, researchers in the
Department of Plant Science of the university and Plant Research
International, both parts of Wageningen UR will have unlimited
use of the software for their sequence analysis projects.
Lasergene is a comprehensive sequence analysis software program
providing users with tools for performing a wide range of
assembly, visualization and analysis operations on data
generated by conventional Sanger sequencing method as well as
Next Generation platforms available from Roche 454® and
Illumina®.
Bob Steinhauser, DNASTAR’s Director of Marketing, “Wageningen
University is one of the leading life science research
universities in Europe. DNASTAR has been building its
relationship with the Wageningen University for many years. We
are very pleased that the University chose our software for
their sequence assembly and analysis research needs. We continue
to see business trends where organizations are trending towards
standardizing their research platforms to simplify data sharing
among their scientists. Lasergene’s novel features and broad
applications base make it an excellent platform choice to
address present and future genomic research needs.”
Lasergene is a comprehensive, easy to use suite of tools for
molecular biologists and geneticists used primarily in the
assembly and analysis of DNA and protein sequences. The software
provides researchers with a broad range of analysis tools that
can be used with traditional and Next-Generation sequence
analysis projects. It has been sold in over 65 countries
worldwide. Wageningen University joins a growing list of public
and private organizations worldwide that are utilizing the
Lasergene sequence analysis software program.
Wageningen University is one of the leading life science
research universities in Europe. Its collaboration with the Van
Hall Larenstein School of Higher Professional Education and
research institutes from the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture to
form Wageningen UR provide the working ground for over 9,000
scientists in fields of life science and natural resource
research.
DNASTAR, Madison, Wisconsin, has been a pioneer in the
development and sales of bioinformatics software used to
increase researcher’s productivity for more than 24 years.
Currently, DNASTAR produces Lasergene, a sequence analysis
software suite; SeqMan NGen, an assembly tool specifically
designed for use with Next Generation sequencing platforms;
GenVision, a data visualization software application; and
ArrayStar, a microarray gene expression visualization and
analysis tool.
