CLC bio was a bioinformatics software company that developed a software suite subsequently purchased by QIAGEN.[1]
History
CLC bio started commercial activities on January 1, 2005, headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark. Its product's development was also partly funded by collaborating with researchers on grant-funded projects.[2][3] By 2012, it had additional offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Tokyo, Taipei and Delhi, with staff largely from research backgrounds (30% having a PhD)[4] and had built a userbase of around 250,000 users in both academic institutions and biotechnology companies.[5]
