BioinformaticsWe are excited to announce the release of OmicsBox 3.3, the All-In-One bioinformatics software, designed to simplify your research.
This latest version integrates a range of new features and improvements, offering improved usability, advanced functionalities, and expanded database support to meet the diverse needs of the bioinformatics community.
With a focus on providing powerful tools and resources, OmicsBox 3.3 brings new long-read features, several new metagenomics databases, improved transcriptomics analyses, and much more.
“I’m happy to announce the release of OmicsBox 3.3, packed with many new features our community has eagerly been waiting for. The Metagenomics Module now offers additional taxonomic classifications via Silva, Greengene, and GTDB. We’ve enhanced our Transcriptomics Module with improved data analysis capabilities for bulk, single-cell, and long-read transcriptomics, including better time course analysis, a redesigned long-read IsoSeq pipeline, and the TAMA Merge option. I am confident that these features, along with all the other improvements we’ve made, will further support our users in accelerating their scientific discoveries.
Dr. Stefan Götz, CEO of BioBam Bioinformatics S.L.

About OmicsBox:
BioBam’s bioinformatics solution offers a user-friendly data analysis platform that allows getting from next-generation sequencing reads to biological insights with ease.
OmicsBox offers “out-of-the-box” data analysis and functional interpretation of genome, transcriptome, and metagenome datasets for industry, academic, and governmental research biologists. Our Bioinformatics Software, OmicsBox, is used by top private and public research institutions worldwide.
OmicsBox is structured in the following modules and can be configured as required: Genome Analysis, Transcriptomics, Functional Analysis, and Metagenomics. The Functional Analysis module includes the Blast2GO functional annotation methodology and makes Omicsbox especially popular in non-model organism research with over 10.000 scientific citations.
OmicsBox relies on cloud computation for all resource-consuming tasks like genome assemblies or any other CPU or memory-consuming algorithms. All these computationally challenging bioinformatics pipelines can be run transparently with OmicsBox from any standard PC or laptop on Windows, Linux, or Mac. OmicsBox is based on a subscription model with very flexible licensing options. Please contact us for more information.
How to update?
- OmicsBox will update automatically. If you are working with OmicsBox 2.0 or higher you don’t have to do anything to update to the latest version.
- If you are still using Blast2GO PRO we highly recommend upgrading to OmicsBox. You can download the latest version here
