GENALICE and deCODE Genetics enter into a partnership for population wide genomic analysis
Population wide analysis is crucial if the potential of whole genome sequencing for medical application in patients with complex diseases is to be realized. Data processing at that level represents a major challenge, however, GENALICE’s unique ability to process a full human genome on general purpose hardware in a matter of minutes makes population wide sequence variation analysis a reality.
The project will kick off in August and final results are expected to be ready in December this year. Hans Karten, CEO/CTO of GENALICE, stated: “deCODE's unique dataset enables us to verify the quality of the output at population scale. GENALICE MAP is the only DNA data processing solution currently on the market that is capable of swiftly processing the huge quantities of data produced by the modern high volume sequencers with great accuracy but limited hardware requirements
