GENALICE and Knome form strategic partnership to empower rapid NGS data interpretation
GENALICE and Knome, Inc. USA jointly announced a strategic partnership to offer their products together as a turn-key solution for those using next-generation sequencing (NGS) data to interpret patients’ genomes. GENALICE MAP is an ultra-fast and highly accurate preprocessing solution for aligning and calling NGS data and seamlessly connects to Knome’s informatics and genomics interpretation system, the knoSYS® platform.
Stated CEO and President of Knome, Wolfgang Daum, “The GENALICE and Knome partnership came about in response to the reality that the amount of NGS data and its increasing usage requires processing and interpreting at an incredible pace. Wide-spread implementation of sequencing in the clinic toward the goal of precision medicine will only make this fact more apparent.”
Hans Karten, CEO of GENALICE, commented, “Whereas GENALICE MAP speeds up and improves the process of aligning and calling genomes, the knoSYS platform focuses on the annotation and interpretation piece. These two products complement each other beautifully in creating a workflow that eliminates many of the frustrations of wrangling NGS data today.”
