About the Maverix Analytic Platform
The Maverix Analytic Platform is a cloud-based solution designed for use directly by life sciences and clinical researchers who may not have software or bioinformatics expertise. It leverages proven, open-source algorithms and applications developed at leading research centers. Running in a highly scalable environment that can handle thousands of samples and petabytes of data, the Maverix Analytic Platform is also HIPAA compliant. After loading sequence data from any organism (human, animal, plant, or microbe), researchers are able to immediately perform analysis with reliable, scientifically recommended configurations, as cited in peer- reviewed journal publications, without having to make extensive investments in IT infrastructure. Visualization is provided through a variety of integrated graphical tools, including the UCSC Genome Browser, the world’s most widely used genome browser.
