for immediate release
TUCSON, A.Z. – UGenome AI, a pioneer in genomic platforms to fuel personalized medicine, today announced a referral partnership with 1928 Diagnostics to expand each others’ bioinformatics capabilities. This partnership helps UGenome AI and 1928 Diagnostics to help each other scale operations without scaling bioinformatics workloads from raw data to insights.
One of the challenges in genomics research involves the volumes of data being processed. For example, high-throughput sequencing (HTS) generates terabytes of raw data. Secondary analysis required to make further sense of the data, further expand storage needs (Davis-Turak et al., 2017). For context, 1 terabyte hard drive can hold 500 hours of high-definition videos or 333-full length movies (How Much Is 1 TB of Data Storage?). Furthermore, managing datasets of terabytes demands higher levels of IT infrastructure and expertise (4 Challenges Facing Genomics and Genetics Research | ELGA LabWater, 2024)
“Our vision is to make genomic medicine personal and accessible for everyone so we are happy to partner with 1928 Diagnostics to improve our scalability and efficiency, helping our customers and others with more accurate and usable genomic data but more importantly, together we driving to provide curated meaningful insights from data to help people live better everywhere,” said Zachary Brooks, PhD, founder and CEO of UGenome AI.
1928 Diagnostics is at the forefront of fast and scalable bioinformatics, specializing in the analysis of microbial DNA sequencing data. By making advanced data analysis accessible to everyone, 1928 enables clinical and research laboratories worldwide to harness the power of DNA sequencing.
Through its cloud-based platform, 1928 Diagnostics delivers vital insights into how microbes influence human disease. This knowledge unlocks the potential for more precise, tailored treatments and contributes to the advancement of global health.
“Partnering with UGenome AI significantly strengthens our ability to deliver value by linking microbial influence on human disease. Together, we can address some of today’s most urgent challenges in medicine through a deeper understanding of the human-microbe interaction. This collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission to provide powerful tools that combat disease and make a tangible impact on human health and society,” said Susanne Staaf, Founder and CEO of 1928 Diagnostics.
