Oxford Biomedical Research Centre Signs Contract With GENALICE
GENALICE recently announced that the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Oxford Biomedical Research Centre’s Molecular Diagnostics Centre has signed a contract for a larger model of the GENALICE VAULT, GENALICE’s Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data processing appliance. This all-in-one bioinformatics appliance is preloaded with the ultra-fast and highly accurate NGS data processing software, GENALICE MAP.
GENALICE recently announced the upgrade of its groundbreaking DNA processing solution to include Variant Calling. This upgrade makes GENALICE MAP a complete processing workflow. The product is specifically designed to support high-volume DNA sequencing centers that require high throughput at high quality.
“GENALICE showed that MAP produces impressive throughput and storage space reductions,” said Dr. Anna Schuh, Clinical Lead at the Oxford Molecular Diagnostics Centre. “It also detects complex mutations, which is crucial to be able to effectively use NGS data in a clinical setting and a key catalyst in allowing clinical use to contribute to large scale DNA data collection.”
“The Oxford group is world renown and uses high quality standards. This is a major milestone in our continuous product validation and quality improvement process. The team in Oxford is gearing up for a more molecular profile driven diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases. We are excited to accelerate this process,” added Hans Karten, CEO/CTO of GENALICE.
He continued, “In order to optimally support our customers in United Kingdom and Ireland, we have opened an office in the Innovation Center in Belfast, Northern Ireland. As well as customer support, the UK office will also carry out part of the product development and validation functions within GENALICE.
GENALICE is a privately owned, innovative biomedical big data company, with headquarters in Harderwijk, the Netherlands. It designs and builds groundbreaking software solutions for cost-effective and accurate DNA data processing and analysis on simple commodity hardware. For more information, visit www.genalice.com.
