CHALLENGE
Genetic diagnosis plays a crucial role in disease screening, both in terms of prevention and early detection as well as in diagnosing, monitoring, and predicting treatment response. In recent years, the democratization of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies and the decrease in operating costs have enabled the processing of a larger volume of samples with the subsequent exponential growth of data. However, the automation of complex processes such as bioinformatic analyses remains a challenge for many laboratories.
Managing the large amounts of data generated by today’s NGS technologies presents significant challenges related to storage, standardization, scalability, reproducibility, and regulatory requirements compliance. Self-built, do-it-yourself bioinformatics infrastructures can be costly and time-consuming, and only provide a temporary solution to these challenges.
Diagnostic laboratories need reliable, flexible, easy-to-use tools to comprehensively analyze their NGS data and improve turnaround times. A single, all-in-one software solution for data management, quality control, data analysis and interpretation.
SOLUTION
Genomcore provides a certified and scalable platform that facilitates multimodal data storage, analysis and workflow automation. A complete data management system that works with any sequencing platform, any species and any bioinformatics workflow.
Our technological framework includes built-in ETL mechanisms and specialized APIs for the automated capture and integration of data from different sources. From the direct capture of BCL or fastQ files from sequencers to data from your Laboratory Information System (LIS). The data is securely transferred from the sequencer to Genomcore’s computing nodes in an encrypted form and triggers the start of predefined analysis workflows. This reduces the need for manual processes and eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming IT ad-hoc developments.
Streamline your NGS data analysis. We can securely house your data and computational tools, avoiding duplicated data transfer and enabling reproducible analyses. You can choose from a wide catalog of ready-to-use bioinformatic tools or we can configure fully customized pipelines for you. Tailor-made solutions can make you more competitive, reduce costs and increase efficiency. No matter the type or complexity of the analysis you need to run, we also offer expert professional services to help you solve your toughest challenges and develop novel bioinformatic pipelines that meet your needs.
Automatically track data lineage to ensure reproducibility. Our platform ensures standardized data production with version-controlled analyses and pipelines, which helps you obtain ISO accreditation for your own laboratory processes. We audit trails for every analysis or workflow so you don’t have to worry about version management.
Our platform also facilitates discovery by integrating clinical data, metadata, genomic, and multiomic data securely together in a single repository that serves as a data lake. A complete data management system, from the sequencing raw data to the final report generation. Genomcore Biomed is a unified platform that brings all your data and pipelines together in one place to help you rapidly scale your NGS business and overcome future growth.
Genomcore’s technology adheres to the most stringent regulations on data privacy and security, as evidenced by our ISO/IEC 27001:2013, 27017:2020, and 27018:2020 certifications compliant with GDPR, HIPAA, EHDS and many more. Our state-of-the-art infrastructure is designed to satisfy the most stringent Personally Identifiable Information (PII) regulations both in USA and EU.
