NVIDIA Clara™ Parabricks is a GPU-accelerated computational genomics application framework. It delivers high-throughput, high-accuracy DNA and RNA sequencing.

ANALYSIS

Accelerated Applications For Genomic Analysis

From FASTQ to Binary Alignment Map (BAM) to VCF, NVIDIA accelerates genomics analysis for somatic, germline and structural variant workflows, as well as improving sequencer speeds and consensus read base calling accuracy.

Clara Parabricks can be run on-premise or in the cloud

Robust HPC conducts training workshop that guides researchers on how to run their genomic analysis workloads with Clara Parabricks.

For R&D institutions that looking for a HPC cluster solution, Robust HPC provides the following:

On-Premise Solutions

Running on one NVIDIA DGX™ A100, Clara Parabricks analyzes up to 25,000 whole genomes per year (30X coverage) with Genomic Analysis Toolkit (GATK) from Broad Institute.

Throughput scales linearly beyond a single DGX A100.

KEY FEATURES

The Parabricks Advantage

On a single server, the software can process more than 60 whole genomes per day

No need to sacrifice accuracy to reduce turnaround time. A suite of germline and somatic callers is available.

Create customized, accelerated pipelines by configuring over 33 tools for any specific pipeline or application need.

Reduce computing costs up to 50 percent by running 30–60X faster than CPU-only solutions.
