BlueBee Parent: Illumina

Bluebee helps cross-functional teams of life science researchers and clinicians centralize and manage their genomics data processes and storage needs. The company accelerates genomics insights discovery via the delivery of optimized gold-standard data analysis pipelines, employing both supercomputing and private cloud technologies. This results in a high performance cloud-based genomic analysis platform that enables efficient and affordable processing, and insight generation from ever-increasing genomic data. Ultimately, Bluebee's platform improves time to results and contributes to increased quality of life. The Bluebee Genomics Platform supports an entire team in processing, managing, and sharing sequence data. It lets users migrate their bioinformatics applications and pipelines, set-up projects, view results and collaborate in a highly-secured environment through on-demand access to compute infrastructure for immediate data processing. With a lightweight Service Connector, Bluebee securely connects with client's sequencers to its supercomputing clusters that run in private cloud data centers. The Bluebee Service Connector takes care of encryption, authentication and ultra-fast data transfer. Once the analysis is complete, results can be viewed online and data can be retrieved in an automated way for use with any interpretation software. The platform comes with powerful data visualization, thanks to Bluebee's integration with the Broad Institute's Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) that efficiently handles large heterogeneous data sets, while providing a smooth and intuitive user experience at all levels of genome resolution. Also included is an extensive library of data analysis tools and pipelines, including DNA and RNA sequencing, cancer analysis, metagenomics, and de novo assembly support numerous applications. And for more advanced users, the company offers an extensive API library to build customized solutions on top of its platform, to integrate with LIMS systems or customer delivery portals.
