Illumina has made available the fully fledged commercial version of BaseSpace
for customers. BaseSpace is a genomic cloud computing and storage
platform with e-commerce facility for purchasing Illumina’s or other
third party’s bioinformatics apps using BaseSpace iCredits.
BaseSpace attracted more than 4000 apps
during its beta stage providing a platform for bioinformatics app
developers. Now with the platform coming out of beta stage and addition
of e-commerce facility, it is now possible for developers to monetize
their apps and encourage development of more bioinformatics tools.
Encouraged by the rapid adoption, there are numerous apps for Illumina’s HiSeq NGS systems and MiSeq
desktop sequencing systems offered on BaseSpace. It supports apps for
genomics research in diverse markets including cancer, microbiology and
genetic disease. BaseSpace also provides an option for researchers to
submit their data and manuscript directly to Elsevier Life Sciences’ Genomic Data journal for review.
