Geneus, the lab and data management system for genomics from Genologics, was selected by Illumina to provide a combined system offering with the Illumina sequencing platform, Genome Analyzer.
'We went to market to find a lab and data management partner that complemented our sequencing platform in its ability to provide scalability, flexible workflow management, data pipelining capabilities, and an ability to support multiple applications,' said Omoshile Clement, PhD, senior product manager of informatics for Illumina.
The principles of the Illumina business partnership with Genologics include working on many initiatives across the company and making Illumina's customers aware of the strengths of Geneus.
From a technology perspective, the partnership provides customers with a clear path to obtain an end-to-end lab and data management solution for next-generation sequencing, as well as a single system for enabling cross-genomics experiments.
'Our partnership will provide clients with a single solution for genomics labs from sample submissions to results, no matter what type of research they are conducting from sequencing to microarray and real-time PCR platforms,' said Michael Ball, chief executive officer for Genologics.
Geneus supports Illumina's Genome Analyzer and Iscan data workflows for multiple genomics applications and provides genomics centres with an end-to-end solution from sample and workflow tracking to automating bioinformatics pipelining and reporting.
Geneus is fully compatible with Illumina sequencing software components including Genomestudio.
Geneus is part of a broader suite of science-purposed informatics systems for discovery labs.
