Company Information
The company’s technology offers biomedical interpretation capabilities for more than 18% of the genome (more than 10 times the protein-coding scope) and continually provides new solutions for enhancing this scope. The platform enables researchers to better leverage the power of whole-genome sequencing data and to distill novel findings for developing the next generation of targeted and personalized therapeutics and diagnostics.
Much of the genetic data currently being generated is siloed in hospitals around the world and could be better utilized by researchers in targeted therapeutic development. Our platform provides hospitals with improved diagnostics and the opportunity to support the development of novel therapeutics that will enable better care for their patients.
