Company of the week
This weeks company of the week Sequencing . Making high-quality 30x whole genome sequencing tests accessible to more people, Sequencing.com has advanced personal genomics by investing in its bioinformatic team to develop one-of-a-kind health insight discovery tools. Founded in 2014 by Brandon Colby MD following his book, 'Outsmart Your Genes' Sequencing.com has developed the world's largest DNA report marketplace and DNA search engine. Combining an expert team of US medical doctors, geneticists, bioinformatic experts, and software developers, Sequencing.com is part of the trend that between 100 million and 2 billion human genomes within the next 5 years.
The company's product range includes whole genome sequencing, disease analysis, bioinformatic pipelines, and a marketplace of over 100 reports from 15 partners, with speed, efficiency, and security at the heart of everything they do.
Looking ahead to the future, Brandon Colby MD notes that, "we are working in an emerging space. Research and technology will improve yearly [and] enable us to create more interactive digital experiences so consumers can analyse and interpret their DNA across various use cases."
As the trajectory of decreasing sequencing costs and greater access to secure cloud databases continues, Sequencing.com looks set to grow further over the coming years.
Sequencing also featured heavily in an article I recently wrote on "Bioinformatic Start-ups taking the Lead"

Collaboration of the week
Almaden Genomics and OmicsEdge this week formed a strategic partnership to streamline drug discovery.
OmicsEdge has launched an industry leading drug discovery service that leverages Almaden's g.nome? platform to streamline the iteration process. The service makes it easy for labs to conduct a quick analysis of a patient or trial participant's medical condition and genomics, gaining valuable insight in genomic criteria and how it affects elevated risk. The service can be used to significantly accelerate the drug discovery process and eliminate trial-and-error with abilities such as identifying causal variants that make ideal drug targets.
领英推è
David Gascoigne CEO of Almaden Genomics said "Together with OmicsEdge, our technology allows those conducting or pursuing?clinical trials to incorporate genomics into the selection of targets for discovery.
Puya Yazdi CSO and CMO of OmicsEdge said "Our team has decades of experience in helping organizations with their genomics and bioinformatics projects, from development and execution to publication. Almaden’s g.nome platform is an invaluable tool in our work that accelerates development of state-of-the-art pipelines, enabling us to iterate quickly and efficiently, freeing our team to focus on answering important biological questions.â€
