IP Genesis reports successful launch of the Genboree Early Access Program


HOUSTON, TX (January 26th, 2009)

Upon acquisition of commercial licenses to Genboree and Pash software from Baylor College of Medicine, IP Genesis launched the Genboree Early Access Program in April 2008. The program aims to provide Genboree Hosting services to a small number of early clients who employ advanced genomic technologies such as massively parallel sequencing. Since the launch of the program, research projects conducted at three research institutions have been successfully completed.

The program has identified a growing need for semi-automated analysis of sequences generated by massively parallel sequencing. Favorable feedback received from current users indicates possible enrollment of additional program participants before the full launch of Genboree Hosting Services, which is anticipated to occur in the third quarter of 2009.

IP Genesis is a bioinformatics company formed for the purpose of enhancing discovery processes in life sciences. For more information about IP Genesis, Inc., visit their Web site at www.ipgenesis.com.

Genboree Early Access Program

Genboree Early Access Program aims to provide Genboree Hosting services to a small number of early clients who already generate high volumes of genomic data such as:

  • Genome variation at the basepair level;
  • Structural genome variation;
  • Epigenomic data;
  • Heterogeneous genomic information generated by multiple genomic technologies.

Comparative Sequence Assembly (CSA)

CSA technology assembles read fragments from a DNA sequencing project using related genomic sequences to guide the assembly process. CSA enables faster, more economical and accurate assemblies of genomes using next-generation sequencing technologies.


Software

Genboree Discovery System is a turnkey software system for genomic research. While it can be configured to support almost any genome-centric discovery process, a number of configurations already exist for specific applications.


Pash program implements Positional Hashing, an extremely fast and accurate sequence comparison method. Pash enables fast and sensitive anchoring of hundreds of millions of short sequences produced by next-generation sequencing technologies.
