Genoox Launches Genetic Data Reanalysis Capabilities to Solve for Disconnect Between Clinical Evidence and Application
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Genoox, the healthcare technology company on a mission to make it easier for doctors, clinicians and researchers to run clinical genetic applications and act on genetic sequencing results, today announced major updates to its platform. The new capabilities use artificial intelligence-based tools to promote regular and periodic genomic data reanalysis and data aggregation to quicken diagnoses for patients based on new clinical evidence, and improve diagnosis yield for undiagnosed cases.
With the advance of NGS technology and a growing body of genomics research, there is an urgent need for data reanalysis technology that continuously scans new research and clinical evidence, which Genoox fills. The platform can automatically alert customers when genetic samples contain mutations that were previously unidentified or unknown, instead of labs needing to constantly run manual tests when new clinical evidence is released and classified as actionable.
"As genomic sequencing has reached incredible heights over the last decade, keeping pace with new evidence and research has become a primary goal for genomics," said Amir Trabelsi, CEO and co-founder of Genoox. "There is a technology disconnect between academic literature and real-world applications of NGS, and the Genoox platform answers this need for so many audiences: sick patients with unidentified conditions, the families of deceased people who are looking for answers, and future patients who will carry the same mutations."
"The success of modern genomic testing relies on sophisticated informatics techniques for genome interpretation that allows us to significantly improve our understanding of genetic variants that contribute to rare diseases and sudden death," said Ali Torkamani, PhD at Scripps Research Translational Institute. "As genomics surges forward, it's critical to keep pace with updates of new clinical evidences and learn from historical data, using data aggregation technology that builds a broad, applicable body of insights for researchers and the medical community. We're excited by the possibilities our collaboration with Genoox holds for advancing science and medicine."
