Bioinformatics is the field of science in which biology, computer science, and information technology merge to form a single discipline. The need for Bioinformatics capabilities has been precipitated by the explosion of information being generated by the new generation sequencing platforms such as

	Illimina Genome Analyzer
	ABI Sequencing by Ligation
	Roche 454 Genome Sequencer FLX Titanium Series.

In this new era of Bioinformatics the Information Systems required to support the increasing amount of data require enterprise grade solutions. The key requirements of the new breed of pipeline systems require:

	Highly accessible and high capacity storage
	Parallel Processing with high levels of onboard L2 cached RAM
	High Speed and Buffered onboard RAM

AGTC provide consulting services around design, procurement, Implementation and Integration of IT platforms to scientists in public and private research institutes, biotechnology companies, and universities.
