SeqOne Genomics
Healthcare is undergoing a revolution, known as genomic medicine, that uses the patient’s genomic information to optimise treatment. This trend is accelerating thanks to the arrival of New Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques that have reduced the cost of decoding genomic material while increasing the amount useful data obtained. However, NGS has had only limited impact on mainstream healthcare due to the difficulties in analyzing more and richer genomic data. SeqOne’s mission is to provide tools that enable the healthcare industry to analyse NGS genomic data better and more cost-effectively to provide universal access to genomic medicine.
