PetaGene announces collaboration with AstraZeneca to deploy its genomic data compression software in core genomics initiative
Summary
The time required to transfer these data from sequencers to compute clusters as well as the cost of storage can cripple these large initiatives,” said Vaughan Wittorff, Ph.D., Co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of PetaGene. PetaGene’s transparent, lossless compression of files reduces transfer times to less than a quarter, and PetaGene’s software allows unmodified analysis tools to run more quickly. PetaGene helps organisations manage their rapidly growing genomic data using transparent lossless compression and encryption. PetaGenes multi award-winning software significantly reduces storage and access costs, accelerates transfers and analyses, and simplifies cloud integration for genomic data. Large pharma, commercial, clinical and academic labs use PetaGene to cut costs, reduce turn-around times, and add new capabilities to their genomic workflows without disruption to their users or technology framework.
